THE Mabvuku woman who was allegedly impregnated and could not be taken in as a daughter-in-law by her boyfriend's family has opened up on her ordeal at the hands of mother-in-law.
Angelica Makwiramiti, who is Lameck's daughter, claimed Mai Tumba was wicked to an extent of pouring urine on her so as to chase her away when she had eloped to her son.
"When I arrived at Mai Tumba's place she never welcomed me even though her son admitted that he was responsible for my pregnancy.
"I was forced to live in the park because she was hostile to me which led her to pour urine on me," said Angelica.
She added that she was forced to drop out of school due to her pregnancy.
"I was 17 when I fell pregnant and was doing Form Four that time so I was forced to drop out of school.
"My wish is that I go back to school and pursue hotel and catering," she said.
Angelica also encouraged parents to learn to forgive their children and accept the fact that children make mistakes and also warned young girls to stay away from sexual activities so that they avoid ending up in a situation like hers.
The story was brought to light after a video of Lameck circulated on social media speaking ill of Mai Tumbai at the graveyard.
Lameck could be heard speaking at the graveyard of how Mai Tumbai had abused his daughter when she had eloped to her family.
Lameck said he took care of his child and grandchildren without any help from the father's side.
He even bragged about buying the tan boot which the grandchild was wearing at the funeral.
"Mai ava vane moyo wakaoma, when my daughter got impregnated by her son she poured urine on her.
"I was hurt by this incident and up to this day I have not forgiven her and she died too soon because I was not done with her yet," said Lameck.
In the video Lameck said he wished heaven had a television so that he could see how mai Tumba is living and would follow her there so that he could torment her.
"Ndakarwadziwa mwana wangu kudirwa weti, mukadzi mukuru kurara achiita weti usiku hwese kumuka oti kupe kumwana wangu!" he exclaimed.
The Tumba family was humiliated by their neighbour at their 'mother's' funeral last week.
Lameck Makwiramiti Chimoka confronted the Tumba family for ill-treating his daughter Angelica, 21, when their son, Tafadzwa, 21, impregnated her back in 2013.
"The whole issue dates back to 2013 when my son impregnated Makwiramiti's daughter.
"The problem was that it was wrongly timed because they sent their daughter in November and our tradition forbids marriage ceremonies to be held that month.
"That is the reason why we sent her back the first time they came and when they came back, I was not around I had travelled with work," said Regis Tumba, the deceased's husband.
Tumba denied all the accusations of mistreating Angelica and said Lameck's funeral drama surprised them.
"All I know is, it was not about the pregnancy, we all understood that this is something that can happen in life, but it was about the kind of person coming into our family.
"The girl had been involved with my son's friend for a long time which we all knew and now she was claiming to be carrying his child.
"My late wife Olivia informed me that she only told them both to find somewhere to stay since they now considered themselves adults.
"The way Makwiramiti behaved took us by surprise because we least expected it since we seemed to be on good terms all along," he said.
He also said they are planning to deal with the issue accordingly as a family.
"Makwiramiti acted out of anger and threw some threats at our family that we may end up dying 'one by one'.
"If not for the fact that we believe in forgiving, we would have taken legal action against them, and besides everyone knows that he is a tough man to deal with.
"I was disappointed because he waited until the funeral to come and humiliate us, we actually pleaded with him to let the people eat after the burial.
"However, right now we are still grieving but I believe after the funeral we will sit down and decide what to do next.
Tumba's son, Tafadzwa, also said:
"I do not have much to say about everything that has happened because at this point I am grief-stricken and stressed.
"The baby is mine and even though we are not really on good terms with Angelica, I know that at some point I will take responsibility of my actions.
"The reason why we haven't been talking is that these days I am always working and I come home late," he said.
