Ah, those awkward movie-watching moments with the folks growing up when a sordid sex scene would play out on-screen, causing everyone to shift uncomfortably in their seats. If collective will could alter the script of a movie that would be the moment for it to happen.

Now imagine how awkward things would become if you accidentally slept with your own daughter. Worse still, this retired teacher in Mpumalanga not only slept with his then 16-year-old daughter when she was a student, he also impregnated her.

Oh hang on, he was a teacher and he slept with a student who was 16 at the time? There goes all sympathy. This from TimesLive:

The former teacher, Alfred Mokoena, who refused to give his age, said he only realised he had been having sex with his own daughter following DNA tests that were conducted after the baby was born in 2012.

But wait, there’s more. Mokoena threatened to hunt down and kill the journalist who wrote the TimesLive story, finally offering this apology:

Let me apologise for threatening to assault and kill you. I was confused at the time and didn’t want people to know the shameful things that I did. I know what I did was wrong…

As for the poor daughter, who was also unaware the two were related at the time of the incident, she now has a horrible story to tell her son when he grows up:

My only problem is how will I tell him that his grandfather is his father? That’s the only thing that worries me.

That won’t make for a pleasant conversation, of that we can be sure.
