A struggling person, by all means, leaving way way way way below the poverty datum, he holds himself with dignity and is counted among many in his village. He has a love story, which just warms my heart always. Married to his wife from the neighbouring village, they had two children. He was known raise his voice once in a while to his wife (kakushusha so) an allegation which to this day he denies. One day his wife lost her voice and for almost a year. She then left sekuru Makosi and went back to Mujuru village to her people for some help in getting her voice back. She never came back, to sekuru Makosi. She then recovered her voice some years later, but never came back to sekuru Makosi. She found her own life in the farms in Shamva. Sekuru never married. HE vowed to wait for his wife to come back. Its now almost 30 years, he still believes that amai Muzambi, his former wife will come back and they will reconcile. At one time, sekuru Makosi was eyeing this other woman in the other village across the river. He came to me for advise. I encourage him to pursue another love life if he had now late go of his first love. He smiled at me and said...No muzukuru, I will wait a few more years, I know my first wife still thinks about me. Three years ago, mysteriously, his former wife came to visit us and pay condolences for my late mother. Sekuru Makosi happened to also have visited us from his own village which is across the river. Sekuru Makosi and his former wife kept giving each other an eye in my mothers kitchen. There was a real sparkle on the old flame. Everyone in that kitchen was waiting, expectantly. I was equally nervous for sekuru. Sekuru cleared his throat, and said to me, I told you that I will wait she will come back. I smiled back, and asked ambuya whether she could consider cooking at least one meal in the old kitchen for sekuru Moyo. Sekuru Makosi had been waiting for decades. She looked at me, cast her eyes down and said it has been too long muzukuru. Really, I have never forgotten about him. He is father to my children. I will go, think about it, and come back. There was a deep silence in the house. I did not know what to say. Sekuru Makosi, couragous said, zvakanaka muzukuru, ndazvinzwa zvataurwa naambuya vako. I will wait. It has been three year now, almost four and sekuru Makosi is still awaiting. I know a man with deep and undying love when I see one. Sekuru is still deeply in love, with his childhood sweetheart....
