Bindura Doctor Offers Two Goats to Pregnant Ex-Girlfriend Amid Scandal

In a bizarre twist, Dr. Tonderai Chiwawa, a medical officer in Bindura, has offered two goats as compensation to his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Karen Tandanguni.

After allegedly abandoning her, Dr. Chiwawa proposed this unusual settlement in hopes of reconciliation, an offer Karen finds insulting.

The situation has escalated to a traditional court setting, where they are due to appear before Chief Masembura on January 19.

This follows Dr. Chiwawa’s failure to attend a previous summons by Chief Chipadze.

Karen accuses the doctor of not only abandoning her but also pressuring her into an abortion.

The couple has been involved since November 2022, a relationship that has now led to public scrutiny and legal action.

Karen has reported threats from Dr. Chiwawa against her safety for choosing to keep the baby.

She also reported theft at Bindura Police Station after her phone, containing crucial text messages, was stolen.

Dr. Chiwawa, married and in his third marriage, denies any significant relationship with Karen, claiming she’s seeking attention.

Karen, however, insists he promised marriage but now shirks responsibility, offering goats instead.

She fears for her life, citing threats from Dr. Chiwawa should she proceed with the pregnancy.

Karen has been warned by his relatives about his past marriages and children, highlighting his complex personal life.

Despite these warnings, she was introduced to his family, deepening her involvement in his life.

Dr. Chiwawa has been accused of attempting to silence Karen and prevent her from speaking out.

His response to the allegations dismisses any deep connection, downplaying their relationship to mere neighborhood acquaintance.

Karen stands firm, prepared to defend her dignity and rights in the traditional court setting.

The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how personal disputes are resolved in traditional Zimbabwean courts.

Dr. Chiwawa’s professional reputation hangs in the balance as the community watches this unfolding drama.

Karen’s determination to seek justice for herself and her unborn child adds a poignant layer to this story.

The traditional court’s decision will be closely followed by many in Bindura and beyond.
