Kudzai Ruwa accused her husband’s girlfriend, Gamuchirai
Zhuwao, of disturbing her peace.
She applied for a protection order against her at the
Harare Civil Court.
Kudzai said Gamuchirai was heartless to the extent of
dumping her minor child at her home.
“We used to stay at the same house as tenants and that is
when she started having an affair with my husband.
“We moved out and she now comes to my place to insult me. She dumped her seven-month-old baby at my
house.
“I cannot take care of her child, so she must come and get
her baby,” she said.
In her defence, Gamuchirai opposed the application saying
she was also married to the same man.
“Her husband paid a certain amount for me as lobola, so I
am his wife as well.
“I went to where she stays looking for my husband and not
her, but she started insulting me.
“I am no longer in good books with the husband, but because
we have a child together, we still communicate, although I am aware that he has
a girlfriend who is expecting.
“I did not dump my child, but the father asked me to bring
the baby,” she said.
The two women then exchanged words in court.
“How do you feel as a mother leaving your child with
someone else?
“My husband told me that you used to dump the child every
time you had an argument,” said Kudzai.
Gamuchirai shot back.
“Don’t involve yourself in matters that you are not aware
of. This is between me and him.”
Magistrate Tamara Chibindi granted the application and
ordered Gamuchirai not to insult or harass Kudzai.
She also warned her against going to her residence and
dumping her baby.
Kudzai was advised to go to the police or the social
welfare for assistance if the Gamuchirai does not take back her child. H Metro
