Two Beitbridge sisters Barbra (34) and Prisca Chityangu
(26) have been struck down by a disease that causes their tummies to swell.
The Masvingo Mirror reports that Barbra has been told her
tummy is filled with a liquid while Prisca’s is
filled with air.
Barbra’s tummy started swelling in 2016 and it was thought
that she was pregnant. She visited Beitbridge District Hospital and medical
reports indicate that her condition is complicated.
She was then referred to Parirenyatwa Hospital. The
swelling continued to the extent that her situation was so bad that sometimes
she would just fall.She has been referred to Parirenyatwa for further medical
examination but does not have money to travel.
Barbra is married to Worship Imbayago and they stay in
Beitbridge. The Mirror is told that Prisca’s tummy started swelling when she moved from Chipinge to Beitbridge to
look after her unwell sister.
The sisters come from Chipinge. Prisca went to Beitbridge
District Hospital where she was referred to Parirenyatwa Hospital.
Imbayago and Barbra have three children who are all not
going to school as the parents are failing to raise fees. Imbayago is now
perpetually at home because he has to look after the two ailing sisters. The
sisters are now appealing for help.
