THE intriguing Tsoriyo family soap opera which can turn Hollywood, Bollywood or Nollywood script writers and directors green with envy is set for its climax as it has spilled into Chief Marange’s court.

The soap pairs parents against daughters, with plots and sub-plots emerging with each passing day. Denials and threats are also the order of the day as the family members continue washing their dirty linen in public.

The Tsoriyo daughters are accusing their father, Raymond of possessing snakes that quench their sexual desires on them.

The Tsoriyo siblings, Mary (44), Shylet (40), Muchanyara (35) and Takura (30), and two others who refused to divulge their names sought Chief Marange’s intervention last week after getting little joy from Chief Makoni’s court where their father has been defaulting attending the court since March 2020. Chief Marange confirmed being approached by the Tsoriyo siblings who claim that their father had turned them into sex slaves. In a telephone interview with The Weekender, Chief Marange, said he will leave no stone unturned for justice to prevail and ensure that the siblings are freed from their bondage. He said the matter will be heard tomorrow (Saturday).

“They will appear at my court tomorrow (Saturday). Their father should attend, failure to do so, we will seek the services of the Zimbabwe Republic Police. His children claim that they are living in hell because of his misdemeanour. He should clear his name. He cannot continue playing hard to get.

“The truth should come out. We want to know whether he is responsible for what his family has been going through or not. There should also be a way forward because the Tsoriyo daughters claim that their father obtained the wealth enhancing charms from someone within my area of jurisdiction,” said Chief Marange.

Mary explained that her father has seven children, six daughters and a son. 

She said the snakes are not only tormenting the five girls, but their brother as well. 

She said their eldest sister who is also the first born is ‘‘safe’’ since she was born before their father had acquired the charms.

 “Our father is said to have acquired these wealth enhancing charms before I was born. By then, our elder sister who is also the first born was already born and her happiness could not be sacrificed. She is happily married and stays in Harare.

“The snakes torture us the young siblings. Our brother is also not being spared, as he has nothing to show for his hard working,” claimed Mary. The daughters further claim that their father has been in possession of the charms for over four decades. Last week, the siblings’ mother, Tsitsi, refused to comment on the alleged bad blood between her husband and daughters, saying the two parties were in a better position to do so. Their father, Raymond, has not been picking up calls. – Manica Post
