A man from Gundani Village under Chief Nembudziya in Gokwe
was ordered to pay three cows for having an illicit relationship with his
stepdaughter which resulted in pregnancy.
Jacob Manyengavana had a relationship with his 20-year-old
stepdaughter Farisai Bhasikiti.
The matter came into light when Bhasikiti told her mother
about the pregnancy. This was after Manyengavana tried to force her to abort
the three months pregnancy.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the two
had a relationship for close to three years without anyone noticing until
Bhasikiti got pregnant. They had a fallout after Manyengavana tried to convince
Bhasikiti to terminate the pregnancy.
“Manyengavana and Bhasikiti started their relationship
about three years ago. Their relationship went sour when Bhasikiti fell
pregnant and her stepfather wanted her to abort.
“She refused to terminate the pregnancy and Manyengavana
then threatened to chase her away from their home. He told her to go and look
for her biological father if she wanted to keep the baby,” said the source.
Left with no option, Bhasikiti opened up to her mother
about the whole incident. “Due to pressure put on her by her stepfather, Bhasikiti
told her mother about the pregnancy and that her stepfather was responsible.
She also revealed that he wanted her to abort the pregnancy but she refused,”
said the source.
Bhasikiti’s mother reported the matter to Chief Nembudziya.
Chief Nembudziya confirmed presiding over the incident
saying he fined Manyengavana three cows for sleeping with his stepdaughter.
“I presided over the case and l ordered Manyengavana to pay
three cows for the embarrassing incident. Two cows were given to the girl’s
mother while the other cow goes to the community,” said Chief Nembudziya. B
