Bring back my inherited wife, father pleads with son

Sukoluhle Ndlovu
A GOKWE man who lost his a�?inherited wifea�? to his son is breathing fire threatening that the couple that ran off to South Africa will never have children.

Murandu Nyoni and his son Motion Nyoni made headlines last year after the two fell for the same village woman Locardia Tshuma.

Motion claimed that Tshuma was his girlfriend while Murandu claimed that Tshuma was his wife whom he had inherited traditionally.

However, Motion and Locardia fled to South Africa before Chief Njelele could solve the matter at the traditional court.

Murandu, a traditional healer, has since declared the couple will never have children since they disrespected the ancestors.

a�?It was the will of the ancestors that l take Tshuma as my wife after the death of Motiona��s mother. I discovered that my son was dating the same woman l was supposed to inherit and the two fled to South Africa. Unless he returns my wife, the two will never know peace in the marriage,a�? said Murandu.

a�?Ita��s part of our culture that a man is given a wife by his in-laws and as such Locardia is mine. She is supposed to have children with me only and l will never allow her to have children with another man. I have performed a ritual that will make her barren until she returns to me,a�? said Murandu.

Murandu believes that Tshuma is his wife that the ancestors gave to him and Motion has to let go. . .
