A quiet neighborhood in Penhalonga was recently shaken by a scandal involving a married woman, Fungai Chimbiti, embroiled in a complex love affair. For the past decade, Chimbiti has been married to Raxton Mutamiswa, but her recent actions have raised eyebrows and sparked controversy.
Chimbiti’s unconventional love life came to light when it was revealed that she was cohabiting with Kudzai Musasa, passing him off as a tenant to her husband and neighbors. Additionally, she was romantically involved with Julius Masaka, who happens to be her brother-in-law, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

This love quadrangle, involving Chimbiti, her husband, her live-in boyfriend, and her brother-in-law, became the talk of the town. Matters escalated to the point where Chief Mutasa intervened and presided over a hearing regarding the affair.
During the hearing, Masaka was ordered to pay compensation to Mutamiswa in the form of three beasts, symbolizing the damage caused by his involvement with Chimbiti. Chimbiti herself was required to pay one beast to Mutamiswa’s sister for her role in disrupting their marriage.
“Our matrimonial bed does not lack, and she gives me all my conjugal rights and the respect as her husband and head of the family,” he said.
Chief Mutasa also urged Mutamiswa and his sister to undergo testing for sexually transmitted infections, highlighting the potential health risks associated with such tangled relationships.
The unraveling of this affair was instigated by Mutamiswa’s daughter, Anniah, who discovered the truth about her step-mother’s infidelity. Despite Chimbiti’s attempts to conceal her actions, the truth eventually came to light, leading to a confrontation that exposed the depth of the deception.
“When we told our father about this, he did not believe us and thought we wanted to destroy his marriage. He dismissed us and told us to come back with tangible evidence against her,” she said.
This saga serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities and consequences of infidelity, highlighting the emotional turmoil and societal repercussions that can arise from such entangled relationships.
“Still he did not believe us because he loves her so much. At that moment, we only suspected that she was also in a relationship with our uncle Masaka after a relative tipped us off.
“When we summoned our uncle Masaka to come and help us catch Musasa red-handed in the bedroom, he was knee-weakened by what he saw. He could not stomach the fact that the woman he was cheating with was also cheating with the man she also disguised to him as a mere tenant. She had also lied to him that he was just a tenant. When he found Chimbiti and Musasa drunk in the bedroom, he was at a loss of words,” she said.
Masaka confirmed that when he was summoned, he found Chimbiti and Musasa sleeping together.
“The truth is that I have also been dating her even though she was married to my brother-in-law. I cannot say more on the matter, but it is true we were seeing each other. It just happened. My wife is the one who exposed the relationship when she stumbled upon some steamy love chats on my WhatsApp,” he said.
