"I was diagnosed with TB after the death of my husband 3 years ago. I have not been married since then," she says showing sore on her body.
The marks show her pain. She wipes a tear to try and forget her troubles. "I now take the pills when I feel the pain in my body but I have not taken the pills for the past three days."
Greater"s five children is her real punishment. Her last born is aged 2. He never saw his father. The first child is only 16. She has shown a great potential in her school work but it might be short-lived.
 
"I cannot afford to work for myself and feed the family." Her weak torso is evidence to her story. "If I get work in the fields I am paid only $500 for the whole day"s work." Sacrifices have to be made: medication or family.
"I had to take my seat covers to make bed covers for my kids so that they feel warm in winter. I cannot afford to buy them blankets," she adds.
 
The undulating rocky terrain of Rusape has refused to yield food for Greater. Her hopes wiltered. Her body gives in.
"I did not harvest enough to feed my family because I could not afford to buy agricultural inputs for the previous rainy season. The food is not enough for the kids to feed.
Another barren year for the widow.
Many women will choose to suffer in silence. Not Greater. Her heart-rending revelations were voluntary. A shout for help.
If ever the assistance reaches Chitimutsitu Village, she hopes it will not be too late. "I need proper and regular treatments to see my kids grow up like other children and maybe my worries will be less," she says.
The mother of five says she was quite but vows to fight for her rights. "I was quiet and did not know my rights as a citizen." Greater has the right to be on Anti-Ritroviral Treatment like other 42 000 Zimbabweans. She hopes to travel a shorter distance to access better health facilities like other citizens.
"I have to travel about 20 kilometres to Rusape hospital to get health attention. I cannot afford to pay for transport to get to the hospital where you are referred to a chemist to buy drugs", says the widow.
Greater has more battles to fight and win. Her new found haven to relieve her sorrows has been "haunted" by family members.
"My brothers have threatened to evict me from the family homestead because they are afraid of the avenging spirits from my husband because I took the kids with me."
Even a late mother"s hut cannot shelter her problems. Her father is too old to help.
