A HARARE man sustained burns on his face and hands after being attacked by his ex-wife.
The couple is fighting for a house.
The ex-wife, Emilia Muunganirwa, alleges Herbert Zuze was a
violent man, who has been assaulting her and taking property from the house.
She has approached the Harare Civil Court seeking a
protection order against Zuze.
She said: “He is sending me away from our matrimonial home,
which we built together.
“When we divorced, we shared our property equally, and he
took some of his blankets with him.
“He came yesterday (Tuesday) and assaulted me, taking the
blankets which belonged to me.
“He always threatens to beat me every day until l move out
of the house.”
In defence, Zuze said: “She is lying as she is the one who
insults and assaults me.
“At one time, she scalded me with water after I told her to
move out of the house.
“I built this house with my first wife but she is fighting
for ownership and she is lying that we built it together.
“I went to church for a week and that is when l found her
at the house.
“This is our second time here coming for a protection order.”
Magistrate Tamara Chibindi dismissed the application and
said the duo was using the court to fight their estate issues. H Metro
