“A bad beginning ‘always’ makes a bad ending,” so goes a wise old saying as married cheats were last Friday involved in a fatal accident in Witbank, Mpumalanga, South Africa during one of their trips out of the country.
Chamunorwa Hombe and Shelter Mugauri, whose affair had become an open secret in Chitungwiza’s Zengeza 4 suburb, died after a haulage truck they were travelling in plunged into a gorge.
There are two funeral gatherings in the same street (Chisungo Street) with one grouping for Chamunorwa and a stone throw away another for Shelter.
Shelter, who was commonly known as Mai Kimberly in the neighbourhood is said to have told her husband that Chamunorwa was her cousin yet they were in love.
Mai Kimberly is said to have left home with their household property to stay at her parents’s house which was closer to her boyfriend’s place while Chamunorwa sent his wife packing so that he could have more time with Mai Kimberly-a mother of three.
Mai Kimberly’s husband Marufu Nhaschi, 34, said he was surprised that Mai Kimberly had died whole accompanyinh her boyfriend to South Africa.
“I was surprised to receive calls from friends and some sympathizers saying that Mai Kimberly had died in the company of her boyfriend.
Chamunorwa used to come to our place of residence and I never suspected anything as their parents’ houses are in the same street. People started telling me that the two were having an affair and Mai Kimberly once left home vanakirwa nechikomba,” said Marufu.
Marufu said his in-laws were still to officially tell him of his wife’s demise.
“I am still waiting for them to tell me that Mai Kimberly is no more.
I went to her parents’ place and questioned Mai Kimberly’s aunt and mother and they were egg-faced. Imagine a married woman running away from home only to die in the company of a boyfriend.
Our eldest child is 12 years old while the youngest is five, the other one is in Grade Six,” said Marufu.
Added Marufu: “Mai Kimberly sold some of our household property and when I got some commission after selling a car and sent the money to her as I continued with my duties as a husband, but only to be surprised to get to hear that she had left while I was away.
She left just one blanket and my clothes as she rushed to her boyfriend”.
He said when he tried talking to Mai Kimberly on why she had left home, she told him that he had been cursed not to prosper in life.
“Mai Kimberly told me that I was cursed and would die poor. It is unfortunate that she died first.
“I can’t confirm their love affair because she didn’t tell us about any relationship.
What I only know is that he helped us transporting our goods from South Africa and we used to call him uncle.
There were three people in the truck so we can’t say anga ane chikomba. All three people who were in the truck died and we have no further information.
"Also, Shelly was no longer staying with Marufu and we don’t want to see him here again. He is just causing confusion and we are mourning the death of our daughter.
You can write what you want and we are not at liberty to talk to you.
We have nothing to say to you and what I have told you is enough,” said one of Shelter’s close relative.
Chamunorwa’s relative, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the two were in love. “They were madly in love and Chamu was in a habit of chasing his wife away to have quality time naMai Kimberly.
They would tell people that they are related, when in fact they were cheating on their spouses,” said the relative.
The lorry is said to have been side swiped by a Isuzu twin truck and the driver lost control resulting in the lorry overturning killing all three occupants on the spot.
