About: False The claim by Chin’ono that ‘You cannot sleep with your cousin (hanzvadzi) in Africa’ is false. Firstly, because not all African cultures consider cousins as siblings. In some cultures like SeSotho, SeTswana and iSiNdebele, cousins are cousins. They differentiate between parallel cousins (children of a father’s brother or mother’s sister) who are considered sisters/brothers and cross cousins (children of a father’s sister or mother’s brother) who remain cousins. Cross cousin marriages for some of these communities happen and are legal under Zimbabwe’s laws and other countries, such as Lesotho. However, it remains unclear if ‘an estimated 35% to 50% of all sub-Saharan African populations ‘prefer or accept’ cousin marriages’ as stated by Iqbal Mohamed MP.
