LOOKING FOR MY DAD - GERSHOM MWANSA.
Being a wedlock son, my mind is info-less on who my father is, he's whereabouts, dead or alive. I tried tirelessly trying to excavate archeology of his information, but seems no fossil records. All I'm left with is a gigantic pain stuck on my throat. Yes. The pain of searching for someone I've never seen before.
Growing up, without seeing your own biological father, worse enough, without information, I'm telling you, it's a psychological trauma, a thorn in fresh, an assegai on a skull. For all of you going through this silent, deafening excruciating, torture in your lives, I absolutely salute you.
Well. I'm Fred Mwansa. This is my story of my genealogical journey to finding my biological father. My true identity. My lineage.
I'm 20 and working in government. Department of health. As a COG. I've never known my father or his family. My mom was 17 when she got pregnant from a married man, named Gershom Mwansa - in Mongu town. The two only dated or hung out for a couple of weeks. Gershom used to work as fuel attendant then, at Mongu Total filing station - 1994.
When Mom realized she had pregnant, she was thumped up by fear, fear of breaking someone's marriage. Fear of hurting your own fellow woman's feelings. So, she ran away to reside in Sesheke. And stayed with my Auntie.
When Dad followed her up, she didn't reveal to him about pregnant. She just kept him in darkness. And broke all ties. So, Dad returned, without knowledge about what she was carrying in the womb.
Unfortunately, year later after my birthday, thick darkness covered our house. I lost my Mother. She died. She died at an age I wasn't able to ask her "Who is my father? Do I have my siblings?" Such and forth. Even her death didn't reach my emotions, because, I was still a bambino.
So, I grew up with huge thirst of wanting to know and see who my father is. Where can I find him? Do I have relatives? But my Auntie can only recall his name, Gershom Mwansa and workplace, Mongu filling station and a year 1994. That's all. That's the only details. And I do understand, because it a was a fresh couple.
If you know him or have any cruel about him or his relatives or friends, kindly don't hesitate to call me on 0950292464.
