Lewd video Zimbo mum apologises

The woman captured in a notorious video making out with her boyfriend while her son looks on has finally broken her silence and wants the public to forgive her, stressing that “I love my son more than anything else”.

Chipo Mpofu of Mzilikazi suburb opened up to The ZimDiaspora last week in a telephone interview from South Africa, Johannesburg. During a 20 minute long exclusive interview ZimDiaspora.com established that:

The video was shot in March 2011 in South Africa

The video was shot by her boyfriend who is father to her son

That the video was probably removed from her cell phone and circulated by cell phone repair shop workers.

Chipo who speaks politely said the controversial video was meant to be part of the couple’s romance, but unfortunately it went pretty bad.

“The man who shot the video is my only lover and is father to my son,” she said.

When the reporter asked her why she did not stop the sexual act when her son walked in, Chipo said: “I really don’t know why on earth I did not stop. I regret everything. Its now like I don’t love my son, I love him so much, nothing on earth surpasses my love for him.”

“I was not coerced into making this video, we did it for fun. In fact, my boyfriend took the video using my cell phone. Soon after he gave it back to me and how it went viral it’s my sole responsibility”.

“However, I remember at some stage I had problems with the cell phone and then took it to a cell phone repair shop. I believe it is where the video was stolen and then circulated,” she said tearfully.

“I am now even scared going back to Zimbabwe, how am I gonna face my grandmother in Mzilikazi?”

“I am being insulted and abused everyday by strangers on my fone. There is no single day that passes without any abuse. I accept I made a terrible mistake but I want to assure all those who are concerned that such a thing won’t happen again,” she said.

Chipo said the incident has led to her boyfriend resigning from work last week.

“He had taken me to his work place, unfortunately some people had seen the video and managed to identify me. It was so devastating, so my boyfriend had to resign from work because of that. Now you can see how we have suffered because of this. We are being tormented every day and night,” she added.

A family spokesperson added that Chipo had no record of notoriety as a child who grew up under her grandmother. Both her parents died while she was young. ZimDiaspora.com
