The menacing news spread; reverberating in Iringa, a rural town in Buyende district. A whispered horror, chilling the bone-dry air. He’d loved her, a love so fierce it consumed him, leaving only ashes. But her family, the stone-faced guardians of their ancestral land, had rejected him. Their disapproval, a cold, hard wall, had driven him to the edge. They found him hanging by rope dead, at the doorstep of their home. Iringa held its breath, Mwase Kisige, son of the late Adonia Kisige, the resident of Nawakiki B, in the parish of Marima, Iringa, had committed suicide by hanging himself.
A case of domestic violence that has gone on for so long. A case of love untamed. A case of miscommunication. A case of woundsunhealed.
