The latest episode aired on Saturday, exposing the deceitful actions of the polygamist’s junior wife, who had been fraudulently claiming maintenance for three children that were proven not to be his through a paternity DNA test.

The polygamist, a 62-year-old man who had already suffered two strokes prior to the show, was dealt a crushing blow that left him speechless and unable to defend himself. This revelation has sparked a fierce debate among Zimbabweans, with emotions running high.

Betrayal or Karma?

The nation finds itself divided over the junior wife’s calculated deception and paternity fraud. Many Zimbabweans expressed their shock and outrage at her actions, emphasizing the need for caution when it comes to trusting women. 

Simbarashe Nicholas Chitovhoro shared his astonishment, stating, “I’m surprised he didn’t have another stroke live on the show. I believe in Karma, and I think this is a classic case of his chickens coming back home to roost.”

However, there are those who see the polygamist’s misfortune as a consequence of his own choices. They argue that his decision to engage in polygamy led to this heartbreaking revelation. Nyenze expressed a cynical perspective, remarking, “If women could, they would turn a man’s flesh into cash. 

Behold, Jesus is coming soon.”

Amidst the controversy, there has been an outpouring of support and admiration for the polygamist’s senior wife, who steadfastly stood by his side despite his stroke and the revelation of his junior wife’s betrayal. Munhu Mutapa praised her unwavering loyalty, stating, “Maiguru is the breed of wives that are rare these days. She stuck to her man through thick and thin, in sickness and betrayal. What a woman. And she is pretty too.”
