An HIV-positive widow and her 26-year-old son appeared before the courts for engaging in an incestuous relationship. The relationship was discovered by one of their relatives who found them in a compromising position at Kenzamba Business Centre in Makonde District which helped confirm long-held suspicions of an illicit affair between the pair.
The mother of Madzudzo Village under Chief Magonde and her son are said to have started having the incestuous affair between November 2 and November 17, 2016. The two appeared before Chinhoyi magistrate Miss Brenda Dhliwayo facing charges of having copulation within a prohibited degree of relationship in contravention of Section 75 (2) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
They were convicted on their own guilty plea and remanded in custody to tomorrow for sentence. In remanding them in custody, Miss Dhliwayo said they stayed in the same area and could continue engaging in their illicit affair.
