It has been said that twins share almost
everything but sharing a husband may seem
unimaginable. But Zambia's Livingstone-based
twin sisters Gracious and Grace are happily
married to a man they gave conditions to, they
said "take all or none."
The Tswana, Botswana twins are married to 25-
year-old Kays Kaundula, who lives in Livingstone
Island in Zambia.
Kaundula, his wives Grace and Gracious and his
three daughters from the two twin sisters show
off their family and lifestyles.
Kaundula runs his own motor vehicle mechanical
workshop in Livingstone Island's residential area
and shares a house with his wives.
Kaundula however was later to discover that the
sisters shared a cell phone and that in his
conversations he proposed love to both sisters
and both accepted.
A visit to plot 140, the residence of Kaundula, was
met with a sweet greeting of small twin girls,
who are Kaundula's four-year-old daughters
from Gracious.
Gracious and Grace seem happily married and
Gracious even says when her daughters grow up
and decide to get married, she would want them
to get married to one man.
"I want them to be together just like us.
This is what we set for ourselves as we
grew up and we are happy that we have
achieved what is good for us and our
children," she says.
Asked what they would do if Kaundula decided to
get another wife since he was already in a
polygamous status, the two sisters at the same
time reply, "we will divorce him."
Kaundula's marriage is one which he says he first
could not understand as he was first confused
when he met the two sisters.
"I was picked by an amateur football team
to play in Gaborone in Botswana and after
one game as I walked out of the stadium I
was greeted with a sweet voice from one
of my wives, I can't tell who. I was told
that I had played a nice game.
"From there I continued talking to her or
now realise that it was them on a cell
phone as I later discovered that they were
using one phone so I was talking to either
of the two every time I called," Kaundula
says.
He says their relationship continued from phone
conversations until he was later to meet them
again as if by destiny's design in Livingstone
when they visited one of their sisters.
"After I left Botswana, I enrolled at
Livingstone Institute of Business and
Engineering studies and I happened to one
day meet one the twins when they came to
visit their sister who was staying near the
institute and from there here we are," he
said.
Kaundula, who is chief executive officer of Kays
Auto Services dealing in engine overhaul,
servicing, electric repairing and motor vehicle
repair consultancy, says he was told by the twins
when he proposed that they wanted to get
married to one man and if he was not ready, he
would have neither of them.
"I proposed and they told me that they
have been discussing my proposals which I
had been advancing through the phone.
Mind you it was one phone that they shared
and at that time they were much slimmer
than now and I could not tell them apart, so
I accepted and got married in 2007.
"My dowry was paid to my mother in-law
who has since passed on in Botswana,"
Kaundula says.
He said he underwent a few difficulties with his
own family when he told them of the marriage
arrangement.
"Some opposed and others seemed to
agree but also said I was overloading
myself. One funny thing I realised later was
that on the day I met the twin in Botswana,
I was greeted twice by a person I thought
had greeted me earlier.
"I did not know that they were twins. It
also surprised me that I fell in love with
both of them and when I proposed they
also said I would get none unless I got
them both. They say love is not shared but
for me it's shared equally," he says.
He says that he can now tell his wives apart,
unlike the early days when he first met them.
Kaundula says they would both answer to any of
their names when he called.
"When I call and say Grace I would get a
'yes' at the other end when actually I was
talking to Gracious. I have three daughters;
one with Grace and twins with Gracious. I
have Chiluba and Chipo aged four and one
month old. Chiluba who is named after my
only surviving sister who is a teacher in
Mansa and the other after my other sibling
Chipo who is in Lusaka.
"My other daughter from Grace is
Blessings. I also have another brother in
Lusaka (named) Paul," Kaundula said.
Asked how people in the community react to the
marital arrangement, Gracious and Grace say
they have been told that they did a right thing.
"Our friends say we did a good thing and
they envy us. I work at Tukale Lodge and
my sister is at home helping with the
children. On your question of him bringing
another wife our only resolve would be to
divorce him, we are very happy with the
way we are staying as a family and that is
what we want for our children," Gracious
says.
The sisters say they are the last children in a
family of five and that all their relatives who are in
Botswana approve of their marriage.
Kaundula has continued with his football career
with Blue Arrows Football Club who train at the
Zambezi Sports Club under the sponsorship of
the Zambia Air Force.
