Sekuru Tauzen Mujaji of the Shangani tribe was born in 1930 and had traditional challenges that resulted in him only being able to have his first born in 1974 when he was 44.
The only child in his family, Sekuru Tauzen says it has always been his desire to have many children despite the challenges he is having in raising them.
With a record 108 children and boasting of having had at least 25 wives, Sekuru Mujaji says he does not use any enhancements to help him with his fertility, adding he is still feels strong to sire more children if only he finds people to help him support his family.
Sekuru Mujaji's wives also confessed he has such charming powers and is still irresistible to this day.
Local member of parliament Cde Enock Porusingazi, who donated an assortment of food staffs to the family, with the help of the Manicaland Minister of State Cde Mandi Chimene, says the family needs financial support as well as land for farming.
Sekuru Mujaji currently has 10 wives and 35 children going to school.
The others have since left for South Africa in search of greener pastures.
One of his children has a disability, which doctors, however, say is a condition that can be corrected with physiotherapy.
