A 34-year-old Zimbabwean woman, Maria Chigwadara died after a home delivery of triplets went wrong. The babies, all girls, are still admitted at Gweru Provincial Hospital, after their birth and the death of their mother last month.
The triplets' father, Mr Aleck Ncube Muza, a 68-year-old unemployed villager from Musadzi Village in Gokwe-embudziya said he has no means look after them and five other children.
The couple, who were members of an apostolic sect did not know that she was carrying triplets as she never went to hospital for antenatal care until she gave birth to one of the girls, only to be rushed to hospital due to complications, but it was too late to save her life.
Ms Chigwadara died on the night of June 8 and medical experts yesterday said her death could have been avoided if she had gone through antenatal care.
Mr Muza on Monday , sent a plea for help to Zimbabweans to assist him with food and clothes for the triplets.
The babies, he said, were still admitted to Gweru Provincial Hospital’s special baby’s ward a month after their birth because he has no means to look after them.
He told the Chronicle that there were complications at birth and his wife had to endure a five-hour drive from Gokwe’s Mutora District Hospital to Gweru Provincial Hospital where she died upon admission due to severe loss of blood.

“On June 7 my wife gave birth to one of the babies and we realised that she had more babies and was bleeding profusely before we took her to hospital. She then gave birth to two more children through an operation after which they said she needed to be transferred to Gweru because the bleeding was continuing,” he said.
“On June 8 she then endured a five-hour drive from Mutora District Hospital to Gweru Provincial Hospital where she died on admission. They said she lost a lot of blood.”
Asked who had assisted with the botched-up home delivery, Mr Muza could not answer.
Mr Muza said he is grateful for the three children, but appealed for donations in cash or kind to look after them. He said he has no fixed income and had five other children, some of school going age, he also needed to take care of.
