A BULAWAYO magistrate, Mr Tinashe Tashaya (29), has
divorced his wife three years after their marriage was solemnised by a fellow
judicial officer, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Mr Tashaya wedded Ms Nokuthula Abishag Nyoni (31) on March
22 in 2016 before a magistrate in Bulawayo under Chapter 5:11 of the Marriages
Act.
Mr Tashaya filed an application for a decree of divorce
last year at the Bulawayo High Court citing his wife as a defendant. The
magistrate said he had lost love and affection for his wife citing
irreconcilable differences.
In papers before the court, Mr Tashaya said his marriage
has irretrievably broken down such that there were no prospects of restoring it
to a normal relationship.
“The parties married in Bulawayo on 22 March 2016 in terms
of the Marriage Act (Chapter 5:11). The marriage between the two parties has
irretrievably broken down to such an extent that there are no prospects for
restoration of a normal marital relationship between them,” he said.
Mr Tashaya said they have been on separation since August
2017. “The parties have not stayed together as husband and wife
since August 2017 due to irreconcilable differences and I have lost all love and
affection for the defendant (Ms Nyoni),” he said.
The couple has two children aged seven and two years.
During the subsistence of the marriage, the parties
acquired two vehicles, a commuter omnibus and a BMW as well as household
property.
Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Nokuthula Moyo granted
the divorce and ordered the parties to share household property, which they
acquired during the subsistence of their marriage.
The custody of the two minor children was awarded to Ms
Nyoni with Mr Tashaya being ordered to pay a monthly maintenance fee of $125
per month for their upkeep. Chronicle
