Dr Tonderai
Chiwawa (40), who is the Bindura Medical Officer, is married and is facing
allegations of dumping his girlfriend, Karen Tandanguni (25), and also forcing
her to abort.
Karen told
H-Metro that she waited for five hours on Sunday but Dr Chiwawa never showed
up.
“This is the
third time he has stood me up, he did it twice at Chief Masembura’s court and
never came for the hearing.
“He is the one
who had suggested a change of courts to Chief Chipadze but still he never
showed up.”
Karen said she
submitted all the evidence before Chief Chipadze, including audios and texts,
from the top doctor, in which he allegedly told her to abort the three-month
pregnancy.
She is now
contemplating roping in the police.
Before his
no-show, Dr Chiwawa had offered to compensate Karen with two goats for putting
her through hell.
He also
suggested that the two will reconcile if she withdraws from making a claim at
the traditional chief’s court.
Karen is also
accusing Dr Chiwawa of threatening to harm her following her decision to keep
the baby.
A report has
already been made at Bindura Police Station where Karen lodged another
complaint for theft after her mobile phone was stolen.
Dr Chiwawa has
been in a relationship with Karen (25), since November 2022.
Karen told
H-Metro that Dr Chiwawa was accusing her of seeking attention at the expense of
his reputation.
“He had
promised to marry me but he is now denying responsibility and told me that he
will give me two goats as compensation and we will reconcile.
“We have been
together since November 2022 and he says he wants me to suffer for dragging him
to the chief’s court.
“I also fear
for my life because he said he is prepared to harm me if I keep the child,”
said Karen.
She added: “He
introduced me to his relatives and I still talk to some of them.
“They told me
to be careful of him because he is already in his third marriage.
“He has two
children with his first wife, three with his second and one with the maid but,
surprisingly, he is forcing me to abort.
“I think he is
trying to play games with me and to frustrate me so that i give up on him but I
will not.
“He lied that
he was going to marry me and I fell pregnant in the process, now he is denying
responsibility,” said Karen.
Karen claims
the medical doctor has been making frantic efforts to stop her going public
with the story.
When we
contacted Dr Chiwawa for comment, he claimed he only knew Karen from his
neighbourhood.
“I know the
girl from around and I don’t care whatever she says, you can as well write all
the information she tells you.
“She just wants to tarnish my image,” said Dr Chiwawa. H Metro
