A heartbroken woman from
Masvingo in Zimbabwe has tried to commit s*icide after her son made it
known that he was getting married to a prostitute.
Zim
News reports that 48-year-old Nomathemba Moyo is currently battling for
her life at Masvingo Provincial Hospital after allegedly drinking rat
poison last Saturday night.
Masvingo police
spokesperson, Inspector Charity Mazula, said she has yet to receive a
report about the case. However, police details who attended the scene
said Moyo drank the poison after a heated argument with her 22-year-old
son, Jonathan Ngwenya, over the 30-year-old prostitute, identified as
Caroline Munetsi.

“Her (Moyo’s) elder son came home with a
prostitute on Thursday night and indicated that the woman had come to
join the family as his wife even though he was fully aware that the lady
is a well-known commercial s*x worker,” said the source.
An argument reportedly ensued on Friday afternoon when the son demanded
his late father’s cattle to pay lobola (bride price) for his lover.
“He demanded that his mother to
release six cattle from his late father’s estate and had already made
arrangements with the prostitute’s parents for the lobola ceremony to be
held on Sunday.
“The mother then told
him that it was better for her to take her on life than to see her son
wasting the family’s fortune on a prostitute,” said the source.
