We must all remember once maverick Munyaradzi Kereke from
the land of stinking beetles, Bikita. The man, an epitome of arrogance and
mischief, was finally thrown behind the bars in 2016 for rape. The courts gave
him 14 good years to reform at the hands of the Zimbabwe Prisons and
Correctional Services.
Could it be that the creepy-crawlies and scoots (harurwa)
are an aphrodisiac? We are told, Kereke impregnated his younger wife from
prison. This had caused chaos and commotion, hearing and firings in the
service. We are told, using the money his deals provided before incarceration,
the bearded man was favoured with venue and time to access the forbidden fruit,
behind bars. To his ancestors be the glory! We hear Kareke has now been
transferred from Chikurubi Maximum Prison to Harare Prison, to pave way for
more investigations.
When you are fluid, you can literary do anything. We are
told Kereke had an office in prison. Now guys, who does that in Zimbabwean
prisons? Can it only be Kereke?
But you see, he is not alone. Robert Martin Gumbura, the
great polygamists our out time, is also said to have been favoured with the
fruit too, each time one of his wives visited.
They say Kereke and Gumbura are worshipped in prison. They
are the gods of our prisons. We hope our dear Cde Paradzai Zimondi is able to
account for what is happening in his backyard. Time, they say, is a great
teacher. Herald Column
