“I am proud of my family and it has grown to be one big happy family through the years.
“All my six wives get along very well and I have never neglected responsibility on any of my children numbering 55 and counting. It has never been an easy road educating most of them who are leading their lives with their families outside my compound,” said Kafera.

“None of my wives, children or brothers possesses the traditional knowledge to heal such as mine. I work alone and I have never left Chitungwiza running away from Covid-19 like someone pretending to be me is claiming.
“I want to warn my clients from all over against con artists going by the name Chimwanje Kafera who are asking them to send money via EcoCash as if they are dealing with me.
