Nyasha moves to Harare for work and finds himself a girlfriend. One night, having realised that Harare has more than one beautiful girl, he decides to have an affair. This tears his relationship with his girlfriend apart and she takes off to South Africa with their twins. In South Africa, the twins get separated from their mother, resulting in a chaotic situation where one is left with the question 'Whose fault is it?' SS Mokua has published 15 publications that include poetry, drama, folklore and short stories. "Learners will find it a pleasure reading this novel since the author has used Setswana and a bit of other Zimbabwean languages. It captures the upbringing of the characters, how they allowed themselves to grow and became responsible parents." KME Tlhabanyane.
