Kraal head beds daughter-in-law as rental payment

A DOMBOSHAVA kraal head Shepherd Kombe had sex on countless occasions  with his daughter-in-law allegedly as payment for debt.

The money was for rentals.

Kombe who is in his early 50s and popularly known as Pidigori in Mungate Village, bedded his son's wife Shelter Ndawi, 30.

Shelter is married to Shepherd's son Kudakwashe Tsvanhu and they have two children.

The illicit affair was exposed through a text message that was discovered by Shepherd's wife following a tip off.
Shepherd and Shelter have been having sex regularly at Mverechena Hotel since December 2015 before the affair was exposed last month.

Kudakwashe confirmed the story and is alleging that headman Murape and Chief Chinhamora are refusing to hear his case after Shepherd approached them over the case behind his back.

Shelter also confirmed that she had been having an affair with Shepherd saying she is prepared to testify before the chief how she was lured into having sex with him after she failed to pay his money.

"One of his tenants failed to pay rentals and the tenant informed him that he would get the money from me since I owed her money," said Shelter.

"My father-in-law kept visiting me during the night asking me to pay the money since Kudakwashe was in Harare with his second wife.

"I ended up admitting to his demands and we had protected sex several times since I was also being sex-starved by Kudakwashe who is ever with his second wife in Harare.

"Kudakwashe took the matter to my parents and he was told to stop verbally abusing me in connection with the case if he wanted to forgive me.

"I apologised to my mother-in-law and was taken to one of the relatives where I was asked to sign a document to confirm the matter," she added.

Shepherd's wife, who is yet to come to terms with the incident, said she was letting God do His will adding that this was one of the most horrible things that ever happened to her.

"When I was first informed about it, I surely couldn't believe it. I thought the informant was only trying to tell me that she was having an extra marital affair.

"It was when I saw messages between the two that I started to believe it" she said.

She said although her daughter-in-law had apologised about the affair, she had not been able to go to church after this incident.

Shepherd could neither confirm nor deny the allegations threatening to sue H-Metro over the story.

"Why do you disturb me with such a story here at work, I am only prepared to answer questions from the chief not H-Metro, get away from here," he shouted.

"I will sue you if that story is published," he threatened.

Kudakwashe added that he was disappointed that the two headmen were refusing to hear his case.

"My wife confessed that she had sex with my father and I took the case to headman Murape," said Kudakwashe.

"My father threatened headman Murape and asked him to hear the case privately and I refused to bow to his demands and that led headman Murape to refer me to Chief Chinamhora.

"Chief Chinhamhora refused to hear the case saying he cannot go against Murape and he referred me to civil court.

"Today (yesterday) I approached civil courts and they referred me back to the village head, I'm stuck maybe it is now survival of the fittest," said Kudakwashe.
