A HARARE man revealed yesterday that he went to surrender his wife to her boyfriend after establishing that the two were deeply in love.
Emmanuel Mutsamutema told a court in the capital yesterday
that he was forced to take the bizarre move because the two were madly in love.
He blamed his former workmate, Ramu Chidziva, for
destroying his relationship with his wife.
Chidziva dragged Mutsamutema to court seeking a protection
order, accusing him of physical and verbal abuse.
Mutsamutema said Chidziva was to blame for the ordeal.
“We used to share the same shop, but he moved out. Three
weeks ago, he called and asked me to come over to his house.
“When I arrived, he locked me inside and started insulting
and assaulting me, threatening to kill me.
“He was accusing me of having an affair with his wife,”
said Chidziva.
“My wife died and he threatened me saying I too would die
and follow her.”
However, Mutsamutema opposed the application.
“I was a shareholder of the store and I passed control to
him. I confronted him and he admitted to having an affair with my wife, and she
also confirmed it.
“Everything he is saying is a lie, and I knew he was going
to lie, so I recorded all our conversations and I have the audio clips with me.
I have never insulted him or assaulted him.
“After I left the shop, I only met him twice – on the day I called him over and the day I
went to hand over my wife to him at his house since it seemed they were having
a serious affair.
“He was sleeping with my wife before his wife died and even
slept with her three days after his wife died.
“Now there are rumours that he killed his wife to be with
my wife,” he added.
After some recordings were played in court, Chidziva still
denied having had an affair with Mutsamutema’s wife and claimed he only
admitted because he had been assaulted.
The two parties are expected back in court on March 15. H
