A brother and sister in Bulawayo's high-density suburb of Nkulumane 5
are living in shame after their stepmother allegedly caught them having
se'x. The incident happened on 26 December 2013. The stepmother of the
two minors, who are teens revealed that she caught them busy in the act
in the early hours of Boxing Day in the sitting room where they sleep as
she was making her way to the toilet to relieve herself. In an
interview last Thursday the shocked mother said her daughter (14) opened
up about the se'xual relationship with her brother (15) after she and
her husband had thoroughly beaten the incestuous siblings. "She told us
that every night after everyone had gone to sleep the two of them would
have se'x because her brother had proposed love to her. "She said he
told her that it was natural for people who love each other to have
se'x. I am amazed that she fell for that because she is an intelligent
girl. "But we got nothing from the brother as he refused to co-operate.
He denied that he was sleeping with his sister. He even called me a liar
in front of his father and said I was falsely accusing him because I
hate him," she said. The stepmother, who disclosed that she and her
husband had been fed up with the disgraced boy and had concurred to send
him to his biological mother who stays in Pumula South high-density
suburb, said she was finding it difficult to face her neighbours and
friends after the embarrassing incident somehow became known through the
gr*pevine. "I don't know how news of what happened got out, it goes to
show that walls have ears, but I can tell you that the whole family is
embarrassed. When we are walking on the streets we see that people are
talking about us and somehow you become paranoid and think that everyone
who laughs, whispers or looks at you is talking about the se'xual
relationship of my son and daughter," she said. The father was not
available to comment. The discredited sister told Sunday News that the
incident had given her sleepless nights and destroyed her family. "My
father now hates us and I can tell that he is disgusted by the way he
looks at me. I am sorry for what I did and I wish I had not done it. My
brother was chucked out of the house and he now lives in Pumula South
with my mother," said the tearful 14-year-old. Sunday News called the
disgraced brother last Friday morning and he denied that he was sleeping
with his sister and vowed that he was going to make his stepmother pay
for tarnishing his image. "I love my sister and my stepmother is jealous
of that. She has always been on my case because I don't treat her like
my mother. She is the reason my parents' marriage ended. I hate her. She
is lying that I was sleeping with my sister, I can never do that
because it's unnatural," he said .
