Ropafadzo Mubaiwa dragged her husband, Tongai Mapindu, to
the Kwekwe Civil Court, in a bid to interdict him from selling their valuable
assets.
In her application before the court, Mabaiwa is seeking to
stop her husband from selling commuter omnibuses, a house and butchery
equipment, which they reportedly acquired together, as husband and wife.
“I need an order that will stop my husband from selling our
matrimonial property, which includes commuter omnibuses, a house, fridge and
some butchery equipment.
“He sold a commuter omnibus at the end of last year but I
do not know how he spent the money.
“I saw him advertising two other commuter omnibuses on
WhatsApp and I want him to stop,” she said.
Mubaiwa further claimed she contributed to the acquisition
of the property although all the property is registered in her husband’s name.
“When we got married, he had nothing so we acquired the
property together although all the property is registered in his name.
“I am only protecting the property, for the sake of my
children, who are still going to school.”
In response, Mapindu consented to the granting of the order
in favour of his wife.
However, he highlighted that he was selling the property to
clear debts and finance their businesses.
“I am not opposed to what she is saying but I sold the
property to settle debts and finance the business.
“I have not yet finished settling all the debts so more
money is still needed.
“I would like to seek the court’s approval to hand over all
the businesses to her to manage under the circumstances,” he said.
Magistrate Mildred Matuvi postponed the matter to today for
judgment. H Metro
