Blessing
Nyamadzwawo appeared before Magistrate Lisah Mutendereki, detailing her ordeal
at the hands of the accused, Blessing Gwengwe.
Nyamadzwawo
revealed in heart-wrenching detail that Gwengwe not only deceived her, but also
swindled over 30 other women seeking assistance to relocate to the UK.
Nyamadzwawo
explained the turmoil her family faced as her husband grew increasingly
frustrated with the prolonged CoS and visa process, ultimately leading to her
eviction from their home.
She shared that
the financial burden from the US$5 000 she had raised left her bankrupt,
causing her children to miss school as she struggles to repay loans.
“I lost my job
in 2024 and now teach at a private school in Chinhoyi. Most of my salary goes
toward repaying loans, and every time I come to court, deductions are taken
from my pay. This man has brought so much misery into my life,” she lamented.
Despite her
family’s efforts to reunite her with her husband, Nyamadzwawo described her
situation as unbearable, forcing her to stay with her uncle.
She recounted
how Gwengwe had called her to bring her passport for the visa application, but
after some time he could only show her a CoS on his computer. It was only after
discussing this with her colleagues that she realised she had been deceived.
