A city woman claims her sister-in-law evicted her from her
matrimonial home after she discovered her husband’s adulterous affair.
Praise Ndlovu made the revelation at the Harare Civil Court
where she was applying for a protection order against Lorraine Mafa. She told
the court that Mafa had no power to evict her from a home she built with her
husband.
“My husband left me because I had caught him with his
girlfriend in our house. He left me in charge of the property but now his
sister is chasing me away telling me that I have no reason to be at the same
house.
“Her brother also infected me with HIV. I don’t know where
she is getting all the powers to think she can evict me from the property,”
said Ndlovu. She also accused her sister-in-law of collecting rent
without her knowledge.
“She is threatening to kill me if I don’t move out and she
has been coming to collect rentals from the tenants whenever I am not around.
“They have now forced me out of the house and I have been
struggling to find shelter and I want the court to help me to get the house
back and stop her from assaulting me,” she added.
Mafa told the court that her sister-in-law had no right to
the property.
“She was evicted from the house and I do not know where she
is staying since she left. I have never threatened to kill her.
“She is the one who insults me claiming that my brother
left her in charge of the house,” added Mafa.
In her ruling, Harare magistrate Tafadzwa Miti dismissed
the application saying there was no connection between the two since the
applicant was no longer enjoying access to the property, her peace won’t be
breached. H Metro
