MEN ARE BEING WARNED!

MEN are being warned: don’t be fooled by a baby’s eyes, ears or complexion — it might NOT be your child! In the game of “Who’s the Father,” facial features are a trap — only science can tell the truth! The streets of Bulawayo are buzzing with a scary truth: men are being turned into “ATM daddies” for children who don’t have a drop of their blood.

A wave of DNA shockers rocking Bulawayo courts is exposing a painful truth — many men are unknowingly raising children that are NOT biologically theirs. Data from Global DNA Zimbabwe reveals a “paternity pandemic,” showing that a massive 72 percent of tested men discovered they were raising another man’s bundle of joy. At the National University of Science and Technology (NUST)’s Applied Genetics Testing Centre, the numbers for 2025 are just as chilling — nearly 40 percent of cases came back with a big fat “NO.” A total of 97 paternity cases were tested in 2025, out of these cases, 60 were confirmed to be positive, while 37 returned negative results.

Vannessa Ndlovu, a Research Fellow at Nust, stated that a paternity test costs US$210 and requires samples from the mother, the child, and the alleged father. “In cases where the father is deceased, the first option is the paternal grandmother, as testing the grandfather is not recommended,” she said. Experts say the demand for DNA testing is rising rapidly, with most requests driven by suspicions of infidelity and growing concerns over paternity disputes.

And they warn — guessing based on looks is NOT enough. Take the case of Wayne Mawire from Entumbane suburb in Bulawayo. He was dragged to the Western Commonage Magistrates’ Court by his ex-lover, Stella Shoko.

Stella was singing a sweet song, claiming Mawire to be the father. In her court papers, she swore: “In the month of February, I had an encounter with Wayne Mawire and in the month of May I tested by calculations and the doctor’s visit confirmed that I was pregnant for three months. I had a meeting with and advised him.” “From childbirth (17 November 2025) up to date) the father of my child has not even a single day socially, emotionally, or financially supported me.

Somehow it has disturbed my emotional and mental being regardless of family engagement (sic)” The court ordered Mawire to start paying US$40 a month into Stella’s EcoCash. But Mawire had a gut feeling. He demanded a DNA test. When the results from Global DNA Zimbabwe landed on 17 February 2026, the score was 0%!
