Rwanda: 80-Year-Old Woman Says She Is Pure, Husband Never Wanted To Touch Her

• Annostacia Mukarukaka claimed she is still pure despite having been married at some point in her life
• Mukarukaka's tumultuous journey from childhood loss to abusive relationships and isolation unveiled a life shaped by adversity and survival instincts
• The octogenarian's lonely existence, characterised by instability, health issues, and creative solace, highlighted her resilience against life's challenges and her quest for sustenance

Rwanda - An elderly woman, Annostacia Mukarukaka, has sensationally claimed that she is still pure at 80, despite having once been married to a man for an unspecified period.

Mukarukaka loses both parents

"I married a man, but he used to sleep with other women. I didn't know anything about the act of love until my friends started talking about it when I asked him why we didn't sleep together, but he ignored me and left," she said on Afrimax English.

Mukarukaka's childhood was not happy either, as her dear mum died when she was only four years old, leaving her in the care of her grandmother.

Short stint in the DRC

Her grandmother also passed on after a short time, and the little girl was left in the care of an allegedly wicked step mum. When the arrangement failed to work, she left for the Democratic Republic of Congo to make a living.

"My family started telling everyone that I had died and when I heard about it I travelled to my home, but when I arrived there, they thought I was a ghost owing to what had been said about me," she said.

"I was given medicine to not disturb them even if I was a ghost. I started living with my step-mum again, but she still mistreated me," Mukarukaka explained.

Her dad's death further compounded the situation for her, and that is how she ended up getting married to the wrong man. She had no children, friends, or family, so she learnt to live like that.

Why does Mukarukaka have swollen eyes?

"He kept sleeping with other women and taking property," she said.

"I try to make things to earn some money to get food, but as you have seen, it is not easy at all. Sometimes it is hard getting out of bed," she explained.

When Mukarukaka feels lonely, she stares at photos of random people cut out from magazines as if they are the ones who 'live' with her.

The octagenarian sleeps on a very unstable bed, and the dishes she uses to cook are the same ones she uses to eat. She lives in an old house and is worried that it might fall any time

Mukarukaka also suffers from essential head tremors, and she said she strongly suspects that they cause her swollen eyes every morning.

She hasn't found a man

In another story, Verena remained pure for 70 years and claimed her short stature might be why she couldn't find a man.

The old woman was hopeful she would meet a man who would love her and live happily ever.

Verena revealed to Afrimax English that she has no family and no one to support her and said she was afraid she might die before meeting the man of her dreams.
