Chenai Maduki has hauled her husband Joseph Chimbwanda to
the Harare Civil Court claiming he routinely assaults and threatens to kill
her.
They appeared before magistrate Ms Tamara Chibindi today
who granted her the protection order she was seeking.
Muduki told the court that her husband was in the habit of
abusing her all the time.
“He abuses and assaults me. Sometimes he wields a knife
threatening to kill me. He no longer stays with us at home but he comes to
harass me and even the children are afraid of him now.”
Chimbwanda opposed the application saying the allegations
were unfounded. He said Muduki was trying to conceal her affair with a prophet
at their church.
“There is a prophet who used to come and worship with us
because we go to the same church. I was shocked to realise that my wife was now
doing his laundry at home and some other favours for him neglecting me,” he
said.
Chimbwanda said after questioning her, she decided to throw
his clothes outside the house and that was why he was no longer sleeping at
home.
Ms Chibindi advised Muduki to apply for a divorce
settlement if she wanted to bar her husband from entering the house. Herald
