YOUR worst enemy could be your best friend and your best friend your worst enemy...

The above saying is making sense to a Bulawayo woman who got the shock of her life when she discovered that her best friend was having an affair with her husband and they had a baby together.

Francisco Chibwana, who is in a dilemma reportedly found out that her husband Asidi Chibwana had impregnated her best friend Brenda Gwenzi and the family to make things easy for the "couple* only demanded $300 for lobola.

A reliable source close to the family said: "The couple goes to the same church with Gwenzi. Sometime last year, Gwenzi moved to stay with the couple as she was Francisco's best friend. She betrayed her friend by falling in love with her husband.

"It is unfortunate that Francisco never suspected anything until the time she chased Gwenzi away after being told that she was a husband-snatcher, but it was already late."

When Gwenzi fell pregnant, she avoided meeting her friend and they only communicated through the phone and if there was anything she needed from Francisco, she sent her mother.

"Since Gwenzi knew that she was snatching someone's husband, she influenced her family to charge little money $300 for bride-price to make things easy for her and the man.

"Chibwana paid lobola without his wife's knowledge and the woman only discovered about the relationship when a messenger from city council arrived at their home telling her that something had not been done correctly in burying the baby.

"When she read the letter, she then discovered that it was Gwenzi who had lost a baby and her husband was indicated as the father. Francisco reported the matter to church elders and the two operfed up on their relationship with her husband declaring that she intended to marry Gwenzi as his second wife and had already paid lobola for her," said the source.

It is reported that since the time when Francisco discovered the relationship, her husband sometimes spends days at Gwenzi's place and as if to add salt on the wound, Gwenzi allegedly uses her picture with Francisco as a profile picture on whatsApp.

When Francisco was contacted for comment, she confirmed that her best friend snatched her husband.

"I am really stressed at the moment because my best friend and husband betrayed me, but I cannot discuss the issue with you."

On the other hand, Chibwana refused to comment on the issue telling the reporter to go back to her sources saying: "Who am I in society, you do not have to write about me, go back to your sources.*

The alleged home wrecker Gwenzi said: "No comment on that issue."
