pre- and post-independent Zimbabwe, Africa and worldwide. These violations

disregard the dignity of the persona, Ubuntu, and heed not to the vox Populi or the

vox Dei. The traditional cultural, patrilineal systems and belief of women harbour

these violations. Traditional society perceives women as perpetual minors who

cannot make independent informed decisions. The disinheriting of widows continues

unabated despite Zimbabwe being a signatory to several statutory instruments

locally, regionally, and internationally that safeguard women’s inheritance or property

rights. However, suffering continues to rise and now the stories are all over media

houses and are now topical issues in workshops, conferences, and seminars. The

legal reactions to halt this inhuman cultural monster has yielded no significant result.

The violations have left thousands of widows emotionally traumatised, wounded, and

in abject poverty.
