A PLUMTREE woman has dragged her husband’s abusive mistress
to court for violating a peace order that was granted against her.
Ms Ruvarashe Shava was in February granted a peace order at
the Plumtree magistrate’s court prohibiting her husband’s lover Nomalanga
Sithole against insulting, assaulting or intimidating her.
Ms Shava told Plumtree magistrate, Mr Joshua Mawere, that
Sithole recently assaulted her in violation of the court order.
The magistrate said she will deliver a ruling on the matter
on Monday.
“Sithole is a violent woman, she used to come to my house
and would insult me and assault me up until I applied for a peace order which
was granted on 20 February. On 11 July she breached the peace order as she
assaulted me.
“She found me with my husband Mr Jerry Gutu at a
supermarket in Plumtree and she followed us to our car. She started insulting
me saying she was pregnant with my husband’s child. She further slapped and
punched me several times and I was forced to fight back in order to defend
myself,” said Ms Shava.
In response, Sithole denied violating the peace order and
said Ms Shava attacked her first. She said Ms Shava punched her several times
and she was forced to retaliate.
Sithole said she was still having an affair with Mr Gutu. Mr
Gutu, who testified in court, however said he ended the affair with Sithole
last month.
He said he had last spoken to Sithole three days before the
incident. Mr Gutu said on the day in question, Sithole attacked his wife first.
In February, Ms Shava told the court that Sithole was
constantly texting her ordering her to move out of her matrimonial home to
create space for her.
She said Sithole would tell her that she was in love with
Mr Gutu and she was going to replace her at her matrimonial home.
Ms Shava said at one time, Sithole came to her house and started
pelting her with stones. chronicle
