Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A woman from Shurugwi, Clementina Mapfumo, made a surprising claim in court that the US$250 she borrowed from another woman was not a loan, but payment for helping her husband with a problem.<\/p>\n

As reported by The Mirror, Mapfumo, who is a prophetess at Nyenyedzi Church, said the money was given to her as a thank-you after she helped fix the man\u2019s erectile dysfunction, which had been preventing the couple from being intimate.<\/p>\n

The woman who loaned her the money, Nomatter Masina, said Mapfumo promised to pay it back in instalments but never did.<\/p>\n

Mapfumo, however, argued that the money was a gift of gratitude for helping the couple conceive a child. She argued:<\/p>\n

They gave me the money as gratitude after I cured her husband\u2019s erectile dysfunction that prevented them from being intimate and they conceived a child. The money was a token of gratitude.
\nHowever, Magistrate Sithabile Zungula ordered Mapfumo to pay the full amount of US$250 by next Tuesday or face jail time.<\/p>\n
