The Curious Ear: Neltah Tells A Love Story

Neltah Chadamoyo tells the engaging story of her sister and a man named Taurai.

Taurai and Melody grew up in Zimbabwe. Taurai was born albino and was taunted in the street because of it.

When he first asked Melody out, she refused but her cousin 'blackmailed' her into accepting. She fell in love with him.

Melody shared in the abuse Taurai received for being different. They also shared a life of laughs, cooking and gardening. They came to Ireland and had a daughter, Siobhán. Then, in 2008, Melody and Siobhán lost Taurai.

In this story, Neltah hears from her family about their love and loss.

Neltah's programme was made as part of a training course run by FOMACS, the Forum on Migration and Communications, Dublin

The producer for FOMACS was Róisín Boyd.
