Harare is buzzing after a deeply disturbing domestic scandal rocked one of the city’s well-known business families. A respected businessman’s wife was allegedly caught in a compromising situation with her husband’s closest friend, and the most heartbreaking part — it was her own daughter who walked in on them.
According to sources close to the family, the incident happened at the family home while the businessman was reportedly away on business. The daughter, whose age has not been disclosed, returned home unexpectedly and discovered her mother with the man she had always known as her father’s “best friend” — a trusted figure who frequently visited the home and attended family gatherings.
Witnesses say the young girl screamed in shock, drawing the attention of neighbors. Word spread quickly, and within hours the story had circulated across WhatsApp groups and Facebook timelines, with many struggling to believe the betrayal that unfolded under one roof.
What has angered many Zimbabweans online is not just the alleged affair, but the level of betrayal involved — a wife breaking her vows and a best friend crossing a line considered sacred in African culture. Social media users have described the act as “heartless,” “shameful,” and “emotionally destructive,” especially given the trauma inflicted on the child who discovered the affair.
As of now, the businessman is said to be “devastated” and has reportedly left the matrimonial home. Family elders are allegedly being consulted as the situation escalates, with divorce and legal action said to be on the table.
Zimbabweans are once again debating trust, marriage, and loyalty — with many asking a painful question: If a husband’s best friend can’t be trusted, then who can?
