MBERENGWA – Remorseful Abraham Shoko of Nyamhondo (47) Village under Chief Mudavanhu in Mberengwa appeared before Headman Nyamhondo last week Wednesday facing adultery charges after he bedded a neighbour’s wife.
A pleading Shoko is said to have told Headman Nyamhondo that he soiled himself as he bedded Sithabile Maphosa who is married to Jacob Chihora and slipped into non-stop diarrhea caused by ‘runyoka’.
Runyoka is a spell that befalls a man who cheats with a wife ‘protected’ by the hubby.
Headman Nyamhondo confirmed the story to The Mirror and said he has since made a ruling on the case and ordered Shoko to pay a beast to Chihora and another beast to the Chief.
Shoko who is a father of five told the court he suddenly developed a continuous running tummy while having sex with his neighbour’s wife.
He claimed that Maphosa asked him for a sexual favour since her husband was not performing well in bed and he obliged.
“I had visited Chihora’s homestead intending to borrow an axe when I found his wife (Maposa) alone since he had gone for a beer drink. She opened up and told me her sexual problems with her husband since I am a family friend.
“She then lured me to have sex with her and I fell into the trap. Suddenly while I was having sex I started having stomach cramps leading to a severe running tummy that was uncontrollable. I soiled myself and incidentally Chihora just appeared and caught us red handed,” explained Shoko.
Chihora locked the two and demanded Shoko’s inlaws to come and witness their adulterous son-in-law as the remedy to stop the persisting diarrhea. The inlaws had to arrive 24 hours later while Chinyoka was in agony.
Chihora demanded a beast as compensation to revoke the ‘runyoka’ spell.
