Emerson Mukwekwezeke was dragged to Mutare Civil Court by
his sister-in-law, Praisemore Mutangidze, who was applying for a protection
order against him.
They appeared before Mutare magistrate, Ms Purity Gumbo,
who had to order Mukwekwezeke’s detention.
Mutangidze is married to Mukwekwezeke’s brother and there
is bad blood between the two.
She argued that Mukwekwezeke disturbs her peace by
defecating in a plastic bag early in the morning and leaving it at her
doorstep.
The court heard that Mukwekwezeke also urinates in empty
beer bottles and throws them through Mutangidze’s window whenever he pleases.
She ends up cleaning the mess.
Mutangidze also said Mukwekwezeke has threatened to stab
her in her sleep, adding that she is no longer comfortable staying at the same
premises with Mukwekwezeke.
“He uproots my vegetables each time I plant something in
the garden. I am pregnant and all I want is peace. I cannot even sleep because
of the noise he makes. He insults me and calls me a dog. He needs to solve his
affairs with his brother and not to drag me into it,” she said.
Mukwekwezeke denied the allegations, saying Mutangidze and
her husband were fabricating stories in their bid to evict him from their
family house.
He also accused Mutangidze of assaulting him with a bottle
on his forehead, adding that he had to seek medical attention.
However, Ms Gumbo realised that Mukwekwezeke was heavily
intoxicated and adjourned the matter. She ordered his detention until he
sobered up. Manica Post
