Pleads Chikuwira said he was now living in fear of his
violent girlfriend, Virginia Machananga, whom he moved in with, after she
recently lost her husband.
He said she teamed up with her daughter and assaulted him.
Pleads has applied for a protection order against Virginia
citing physical, and emotional, abuse. “I don’t know what I have done to
deserve this kind of ill-treatment.
“I forgave Virginia the first time she ran away from me
when I was suffering from prostate cancer.
“Recently, she teamed up with her daughter at night and
assaulted me to the extent that they plucked off my dreadlocks while I was
sleeping,” Pleads said.
He added: “I don’t have peace of mind, since
I am now
living in fear. She is now in the habit of issuing me with death threats.
“I once reported the abuse to the police and they ordered
her to move out of my house but I don’t know why she keeps on coming back.”
In response, Virginia admitted to the allegations. She,
however, argued it was unfair to be called an abusive woman when they were both
fighting.
“This man is also in the habit of assaulting me and I can’t
take the whole blame alone,” she said.
After hearing both parties, magistrate Sharon Mashavira
granted the protection order in Pleads’ favour. H Metro
