A mother says she has been left confused as her 21-year-old
son was sexually attracted to her calling her his yellow bone.
Sikhangezile Mlotshwa from Bulawayo’s Nketa 9 suburb has
now dragged her son, Samuel to court seeking a protection order.
“I don’t want him in the house as he is always drunk. He
always admires me saying I am a “yellow bone” and I fear that he might rape me.
It is a taboo in our culture that a son is sexually attracted to his mother.
“On 23 October he came to my house where he was welcomed by
his younger brothers aged 16 and 18. When I later arrived, he told me that he
was not going anywhere while declaring that he was going to forcibly stay with
me.
“He started insulting me with unprintable words saying I
hate him because he was dark in complexion. He even threatened to beat me up.
As a result of his violent behaviour I don’t want him to come to my house as he
is also into drugs,” declared Sikhangezile.
B Metro reports that Samuel blamed his uncouth behaviour on
his family’s church.
“We used to go to a church called End Time Messages and at
that church we were restricted from watching television and I was always
confined in the house with nothing to do and I think that caused me to be
unruly.
“She is my biological mother but she has been harsh to me.
I have never abused her as she has claimed. Whenever we had a misunderstanding,
I would be telling her the truth that she hates me.
“I once moved out to stay on my now but now life is
difficult for me that’s why I decided to come back home. I had nowhere to go
since my mother was always restraining me from visiting our relatives,”
responded Samuel.
In his ruling the presiding magistrate Lesigo Ngwenya
ordered Samuel to vacate his mother’s place and not to verbally and physically
abuse her.
