I Alfonso grew up in the dusty streets of Vhulaudzi Tshedza under Zwokunda’s leadership. I was supposed to be a king at Mulambwane’s Royal house but chose not to fight for kingship because my life was threatened by my uncles. So today I decided to write a letter to my kids so they can understand better about how they were taken away from me especially my firstborn because he is the future clan leader.

Dear kids today I write this letter to you with a broken heart and soul, I want you to know that daddy loves you with all his heart. Kids, I didn’t choose to be with you at this time when you need me the most, I was denied a chance to play dad’s role, I was denied a chance to ask how was your day and how are things at school.

Elders took away your mom from me and arrange another marriage for her because they said I was not her type and I can’t afford her, that really broke my heart and soul. So your mother chose another marriage over me and said she was fed up with me because I just have only one car and a five roomed house and my salary is not enough for her needs.

Those were her last words when she was busy packing all her belongings and yours too. When she left she told me not to call and ask her back or even to talk about kids, she even changed her number. Even today I don’t know where you guys stay, I don’t even know if you are sleeping with an empty stomach or not but wherever you are please remember that I am your dad and you mean the world to me.
