A BLIND woman’s attempt to stop her husband’s secret
wedding yesterday at the Harare Magistrates’ Court failed after she arrived
moments after the signing.
Only identified as Mrs Chidzoka, the woman only arrived at
the court when her husband John Chidzoka and his new bride Charity Tembo were
heading for a photo shoot.
A forlorn Mrs Chidzoka was at a loss for words after she
discovered it was too late for her to stop the wedding. “I never thought that
my husband would betray me in this manner,” said a visibly distraught Mrs
Chidzoka.
“I would have understood if it was any other woman but not
my tenant. These people are taking advantage of the fact that I am blind hence
I cannot see what will be happening right under my nose. Honestly, I am
heartbroken.”
It is understood that John has been married to Mrs Chidzoka
for more than 11 years now but they did not bear children during their
marriage.
Tembo, who is said to have been a tenant at Chidzoka’s
homestead for about two years, is alleged to have been enjoying an illicit
affair with John.
“Charity does not have a husband of her own and she has a
habit of cooking food which she offers to my husband without my knowledge.
“Ever since my husband started eating her food, his
behaviour has changed because he has turned into a drunkard.
“There was a time when I visited my parents in the rural
areas for about 11 days and on my return, I caught my husband red-handed as he
was sleeping naked in my kitchen with Tembo who was also naked.
“After this incident, Tembo has been threatening me and she
once told me that she will take over my home, now she has.
“John’s relatives are the ones who informed me early in the
morning that my husband was getting married today at the court and I arrived
late because I would have stopped this fake marriage from proceeding,” added
Mrs Chidzoka.
Asked by the wife’s relatives who were also present at the
court yesterday why John did what he did, he claimed he got married because he
wanted to commence lessons at a bible school hence he needed a marriage
certificate for registration since it is a must.
John refused to entertain H-Metro whilst Mrs Chidzoka was
shouting that she was proceeding to the police to lodge a complaint against
Tembo. h metro
