Manica Post reports that Mellisa Muchina is now seeking a
peace order against her daughter, Nothando Muchina.
‘’Your worship, I am seeking the court’s intervention in
resolving a difficult situation with my 39-year-old daughter who has refused to
vacate my property despite my repeated requests. In July while I was critically
ill and in dire need of care and support, she abandoned me to pursue a
relationship with her boyfriend in South Africa. Her departure was, not only
unexpected, but also left me feeling vulnerable and helpless.
“Despite my explicit requests for her to stay and take care
of me during my recovery, she chose to prioritise her personal interest over my
well-being. Fortunately, my neighbhours rallied around me, providing essential
support during that challenging time. When my daughter returned from South
Africa, I made it clear to her that she should leave the house as I am the sole
owner,” she said.
Nothando apologised
:“I stand before you with deep regret and shame. I had no idea my
actions caused my mother so much pain, and I realise now that I hurt her
profoundly. I have no excuse for my behaviour. I was blinded by love and acted
foolishly.
“I know forgiveness will not come easily or immediately
from my bitter mom, but I hope that with time she can find it in her heart to
forgive me. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make amends and regain her
trust. I will leave her house. I will stay with my brother in Harare.”
