86 Mothers in Law?!

September 10, 2008 · Posted in Family, Friendship, Community, I was just thinking · Comment 

A news headline in mainstream media recently, reported of a guy who has 86 wives in Nigeria and was being threatened with banishment unless he divorced 82 of them. Now thats a fascinating story. 86 is a big number (except maybe in Zimdollar terms). Dare I imagine the life these almost-100 people live. Reading around on the same subject, I came across Wayne’s comment: “Man, that’s 86 Mothers-in-law!”.  I start to think of the damage this does to the social lives of the children in this (or should I say ‘these’) famil(ies). Talk about suffering for the sins of the father! Read more

How to say goodbye like a Zimbabwean

I was at the airport (Harare International) again on Sunday, seeing someone off. The place was packed as is usual when there is an Air Zimbabwe flight to London. Unlike other airports around the world, the Harare terminal is never full of travellers per se. When it does fill up it’s with relatives who have come to say good bye to their loved ones.

Whole families of up to twenty people come to see one person off. Some are grand mothers who have travelled hundreds of kilometres to Harare just to come to the airport to say goodbye. Some are mothers and fathers who have sold a car or a house to pay for school fees and for a plane ticket and have come to bid farewell to a beloved son or daughter who is going to study in the UK or further afield- in Australia or the USA.
