Who Killed Chatunga?

by MuVhaki Tasu

Overview

Who Killed Chatunga? – A Murder, A Wedding, and One Very Dysfunctional Family
Shamiso Mhuri Mathe knew marrying into a rich, powerful Zimbabwean family would be a challenge—after all, her future mother-in-law already looks at her like she's the house help who overcooked the sadza. But she's determined to survive the whispered insults, the ex-girlfriend-turned-vengeful-queen, and the "traditions" that feel more like hazing than cultural customs.

Just when she thought she'd jumped the last hoop on the road to marriage, someone goes and gets murdered—right in the middle of her wedding negotiations. And not just anyone. It's Chatunga, the golden boy of the family, the favorite cousin, the pride and joy of the elders. Suddenly, the only thing more intense than Shamiso's future mother-in-law's glare is the search for a killer.

Who did it? The bitter ex still hanging around like a bad Wi-Fi signal? The aunties who live for gossip and revenge? The father-in-law with more secrets than a soap opera villain? Or is the real culprit the never-ending family drama itself?

Set in the midst of an extravagant African family saga where tradition meets betrayal, and secrets lurk behind every lace curtain, Who Killed Chatunga? is a deliciously messy cocktail of murder, mayhem, and mother-in-laws who refuse to mind their own business.

If you love Big Little Lies, Crazy Rich Asians, or any family gathering that turns into a full-blown investigation, this is the book for you.

Get ready for a wild ride—because in this family, the only thing deadlier than murder... is the relatives.

About the Author

MuVhaki Tasu
Born in Zimbabwe, MuVhaki Tasu is a writer, researcher, and storyteller whose work pulses with the complexities of identity, memory, and belonging. Their prose is a map—tracing the lines between past and present, home and exile, intimacy and distance. Tasu’s writing is as much an excavation as it is an act of creation, weaving personal and collective histories into narratives that demand reflection and reckon with truth.

A master of immersive storytelling, Tasu explores the spaces between what is said and what is left unsaid, capturing the tensions of love, loss, and survival with an unflinching gaze. Their work does not merely tell stories—it lingers, disrupts, and stays with the reader long after the final page.

When not writing, Tasu can be found deep in research, unearthing the forgotten and the silenced, or lost in a book that speaks to the spirit. Their words are both a sanctuary and a reckoning—a place where past and future meet, where the stories that need to be told finally find their voice.
