Who Killed Chatunga?
By MuVhaki Tasu
In Bulawayo’s most chaotic family gathering since someone forgot to bring the goat to a wedding, tragedy (or karma?) strikes when Chatunga, the golden boy of the Ibwe clan, ends up dead—face down in the carport with a hoe in his back. As the family descends into a storm of drama, accusations, and awkward finger-pointing, one question looms larger than the overcooked sadza: who had the audacity (and the arm strength) to kill Chatunga?
Caught in the madness is Shamiso Mhuri, a Canadian woman trying to navigate her way through the minefield of her fiancé Kuda’s eccentric family. Between dodging side-eyes from her future sisters-in-law, sidestepping her fiancé’s baby mama, and attempting not to trip over Shona traditions, Shamiso quickly learns that surviving a murder investigation might be easier than surviving her in-laws.
Throw in a grumpy patriarch with a flair for theatrics, a police inspector who stammers through more than just his words, and enough family feuds to fuel a reality TV show, and you’ve got a riotous tale that’s equal parts whodunit and cultural comedy.
Who Killed Chatunga? is a laugh-out-loud mystery that dishes up murder, mayhem, and plenty of side-eye. Perfect for fans of witty family sagas with a dash of chaos and a pinch of murder mystery. Just don’t forget to bring the goat.
