A 26-year-old man has left many Zimbabweans in disbelief after confessing to starting a taboo relationship with his mother, resulting in the conception of a child.

The shocking revelation was made on the popular radio show “Family Secrets and Confessions” hosted by seasoned broadcaster Tilda Moyo.

The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, explained how the incestuous relationship began as “kutamba chikudo” (roughhousing) before escalating into a full-blown intimate affair.

“Ndakangotanga kutamba chikudo na Mai. Kakusvika pakungozoita,” he said on the radio show.

He further revealed that their intimate relationship persists, admitting that they had relations just two days before his confession.

When asked why he hasn’t left the household, the man claimed he cannot afford to move out on his own.

Admitting he has grown accustomed to the relationship, he said, “Ndakambotanga ndichidaro but madays ano ndatojaira.”
