50-year-old nurse sadly details how she gave birth to 4 children with her dad

AT AGE 60, Priscilla Musonda Schaufelberger vividly remembers the years of adult slavery at the hands of her father, who fathered her four children.

Her long journey of adult abuse started when She was six years old as her father started doing it with her father with the full knowledge of her mother.In an exclusive interview, she narrates that as if to prepare her for the defilement that she would endure for years, her parents would make her watch them doing it.

Then later, her father started doing it with her. He did not just end there. He married her secretly, but of course it was no secret for her mother and other close members of the family. She became her father’s fourth wife at the age of 23.

Recalling how the adult abuse all started in 1965, she says, “I was very young and innocent. But I can still remember how I was forced to watch them.The worst part is that everyone close to me in my life, including my mother, allowed it to happen.

When I was 11 years old, my mother’s family knew that I was being abused. So my mother’s older brother, who was a policeman living in Mansa, came to our house and took me with him.

She recalls how happy she was to be rescued by her uncle, albeit for a short while only.

“Dad sent mum to come and pick me by aeroplane. She came with two air tickets – one for me and the other one for herself,” Priscilla shares.

When she returned home, the abuse continued. To cover his dirty footpath, Priscilla’s father never allowed her to associate with friends.

“When I returned home (From Mansa), my father was furious. He later took me to a faraway place somewhere in Kafue where I was locked up for a long time. There I became my father’s slave,” she says.

Then the worst was to happen. At age 19, she conceived and had a child for her father. She had another child for him at the age of 23. When Priscilla had the second child, her father decided to marry her, with the consent of her mother, although he had three other wives.

A year after having the second child, she had the third one at the age of 24, while her fourth child was born when she was 27 years old. Two of her children were girls, and the other two boys.

“After my father declared marriage with me, I had two more children with him. No one (in the family) opposed. Dad started renting me a house where I used to stay with my children and other family members. He would pretend that he was coming to see the children, while in the actual sense, he was coming for me. And I was not to refuse him because he used to beat me,” Priscilla recalls.

Despite the situation she was in, Priscilla finished school through correspondence.

Her predicament made her bitter with everyone, including her children.

“I used to hate my children, I used to beat them a lot. It was the only way of venting out my anger. I was only emotionally attached to one daughter because she was defiled by a relative when she was eight months old,” she said.

She laments that despite his callous behaviour, her father was a respected photojournalist who was working for a public media house.

In 1990, Priscilla could not take it anymore. She fled home to go and live on the streets of Lusaka. This was after eight years of marriage to her father.

In her eight years of marriage she tried to run away, but failed because she was confined to a house that was heavily guarded.

“My father knew all my plans. I tried to run away many times, but I was always caught. I even became suicidal, I just wanted to die,” she explained.

Priscilla ran to the streets in search of her death, but God spared her life.

She spent one year on the streets of Lusaka, during which time she would spend nights either under the bridge in the Kamwala trading area or at Intercity Bus Terminus. She uncaringly abused alcohol and did not care about her tomorrow; whether it would find her dead or alive.

During the time she was homeless, none of her relatives went to look for her.

It was in 1991 when she developed the courage to report her father to the police.
