There was chaos and laughter in Epworth’s Domboramwari area last week when a man found himself in hot soup after mistakenly bedding his neighbour’s wife in a midnight bedroom mix-up.The man, identified only as Tawanda, reportedly stepped outside to relieve himself, but when he returned, he entered the wrong house one that looks exactly like his own and climbed straight into his neighbour’s bed!Inside, the woman, whose husband works night shifts at a Msasa factory, was already fast asleep. Hearing the door open and feeling someone slip under the blanket, she assumed her husband had come home early and welcomed him warmly.“He jumped in and started touching me softly,” said the stunned woman. “At first I thought my husband was just being playful because he usually comes home tired.
But hey, when things started heating up, I felt something was off the touch, the moves, even the rhythm!By the second round, I realised this wasn’t my man!”The woman screamed in horror when she switched on the light and saw her neighbour sweating beside her, half-naked and trembling.“I didn’t even know where to put my face,” she added. “I shouted, ‘Who are you?!’ and that’s when he started begging, saying it was a mistake. A mistake doing what — in my bed? Eish!”Tawanda, still in shock, told the mob that gathered that it was all an honest error.“I swear, it was a mistake!” he pleaded. “Our houses are built the same way. I just came from the toilet and entered the wrong door. I thought I was joining my wife.
I’m not a bad man, please!”But the explanation did little to cool tempers, as angry neighbours and curious onlookers surrounded the house after hearing the woman’s screams.“I thought there was a thief or some ritual thing,” said Mai Chikwata, one of the first to arrive. “We rushed with torches, only to find the poor man trying to cover himself with a bedsheet. I almost died laughing!”Another neighbour, Baba Simbarashe, said the story has become the talk of the suburb.“People here can’t stop laughing,” he said. “Imagine going to relieve yourself and coming back to the wrong bed! These houses are too close together, but this one takes the trophy. He’ll never live this down.”Witnesses said the man was “bashed and chased away” before being rescued by a few elders who calmed the crowd.
