A SHONA proverb says when you see a baboon’s eyelids getting wet, you know that it has been raining for a long time.
This old adage teaches us that when you see something finally unfolding, the causative factors have been going on for a long time, perhaps unnoticed.
In the same measure, when people get head over heels in love, surely this would not have happened overnight.
These are the thoughts that have been lingering in Yours Truly’s mind after learning of the shameful sexual shenanigans of this other well-known widow.
The woman in question was married to a popular big shot who used to run the show at this other major service provider in our beautiful city.
Our dear departed brother died early this year and today, halfway into the year, his widow is done mourning him.
For the avoidance of doubt, Blabber has not given a benchmark on how long a widow should stay single after the demise of her better half.
Instead, Yours Truly has simply asked, how long shall a widow stay single?
Blabber understands the moral, social and religious connotations attached to this issue.
Blabber also understands the liberal gender approach our sisters have embraced in recent times.
But as usual, it is in the interests of preserving the little that remains of our moral fabric which keeps Blabber asking these difficult questions.
Blabber being Blabber, deeply and truly African, was deeply disturbed by how this widow is flaunting her Ben10 when tears have barely dried on the cheeks of those who dearly loved our late comrade.
While the late cadre’s family is still staying at his former employer’s residence, the young lover and his widow have turned our dear departed comrade’s residential stand into their love nest.
The two lovebirds have found a convenient and cheap rendezvous as there is small cottage on site.
The chilly July weather must have been dealt with effectively by this new couple in town.
Our dear deceased brother must be turning in his grave after working so hard to acquire a residential property for his family, only for his widow to turn it into her own brothel.
Indeed, the baboon’s extended eyelids are now drenched for all to see!
Anyway, the Ben10 and his white kombi are a story for another day.
Blabber only hopes that the proceeds from the deceased’s sweat will not soon be channelled towards financing the Ben 10’s flashy lifestyle at the expense of his minor children.
We have seen it happen before and these two might soon follow suit.
I rest my case, for now!
