Police are looking to arrest a mother and her son
for incest. The man of Zimbabwe, and his
biological mother are reportedly on the run after
having an incestuous relationship that resulted in
two pregnancies.
Ethel Vhangare and her son Simon Matsvara of
Domboshava, allegedly had an affair while his
father, Agripah Matsvara, was still alive. It is
alleged that the first time Simon impregnated his
mother she had a miscarriage during her fifth
month of pregnancy. When his father had a stroke
about 5 years ago, Simon began helping his
mother care for his father. Later in the same year,
Vhangare allegedly started feeling sick and was
vomiting.
She revealed to a neighbor that she was pregnant
and her son was the father. The neighbor reported
the matter to the elders of the village. They
reportedly settled the case by ordering the mother
and son to pay a fine with an undisclosed number
of cattle. Two months later, Vhangare suffered a
miscarriage before the death of her husband.
Simon and his mother allegedly continued their
relationship, which resulted in a new pregnancy.
The matter came to light after Vhangare did not
show up for church services, causing church
members to visit her. They discovered that she
was pregnant again and they reported the matter
to police.
Chief Chinamhora sent his officers to arrest the
mother and son for incest, but the two had already
fled from their home. “We will hunt them both and
we will severely punish them to send a clear
message to potential offenders that we do not
tolerate such acts,” Chinamhora said.
