Bongani Mlotshwa (29) who is the husband of opposition LEAD party leader Linda Masarira (41) was on Tuesday, 07 May, sentenced to 15 months imprisonment by a magistrate for domestic violence.
Mlotshwa appeared before the Epworth Magistrates’ Court facing charges of contravening the Domestic Violence Act in that he physically abused his wife.
In a statement, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), said that the State proved that on 05 May 2024, Mlotshwa assaulted Masarira three times on the eye with clenched fists after she had found him sleeping in her daughter’s room.
Mlotshwa was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment of which 5 months were suspended for 5 years. A further 10 months were suspended on condition that he perform 350 hours of community service.
Following Mlotshwa’s conviction, the NPA has implored members of the public to desist from violence and resolve their disputes amicably or seek third-party mediation.
Earlier on Monday, Masarira released a statement on X (formerly Twitter), requesting privacy after news of the assault emerged. She wrote:
<blockquote>
I respectfully request that the media grant me privacy during this challenging time. I’m currently dealing with personal issues that require my attention, and my mental health is a top priority.
I kindly ask that you allow me the space to sort out my affairs without sensationalizing my situation for the sake of selling papers. Thank you for your understanding and respect.

Linda Masarira Assaulted And Injured By Her Husband

A 33-year-old woman was recently sentenced to 24 months imprisonment by a Mutare magistrate after she hit her 11-year-old biological daughter with a half-brick on the head, accusing her of not washing plates.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the woman, Debra Masese, was recently arraigned before the Mutare Magistrates’ Court facing physical abuse charges. Said the NPA:
<blockquote>
The State proved that sometime in April 2024, the accused person physically assaulted Makanaka Masese her 11-year-old biological daughter with a half brick on the right side of the head.
The accused person went to town leaving the complainant with her brother. Upon coming back the accused person found out that the complainant had not washed the plates and this enraged the accused person resulting in her hitting the complainant with the brick.
The complainant fell down and became unconscious and the accused person went with her to the clinic for treatment.
</blockquote>
Masese was arrested after the police were tipped off about the assault. The girl was interviewed and she confirmed the assault.
Masese was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment. However, 8 months were suspended and she will serve 16 months effective.

Woman (33) Jailed For Hitting Own Daughter (11) With Half Brick

A 29-year-old man from Zimbiru village under Chief Chinamhora, Domboshava, is facing a murder charge after allegedly setting his estranged wife on fire following a misunderstanding over the sharing of matrimonial property.
According to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/man-kills-estranged-wife-after-setting-her-on-fire/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, the accused, Ashley Kabaya appeared before Harare Magistrate Dennis Mangosi who advised him to apply for bail at the High Court.
Kabaya is currently recovering at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals after he sustained burns when he set his wife on fire.
Prosecuting, Rufaro Chonzi alleged that on April 15 2024, Kabaya and his now-deceased wife, Sphiwe Jenyure, were in a room sharing property following the dissolution of their union.
Kabaya allegedly locked the door from the inside before striking Jenyure with a golf stick.
He then poured a mixture of cobra (a flammable floor polish) and paraffin on her, and then set her on fire. Said Chonzi:
<blockquote>
The two were in their room sharing property as they were in their final stages of divorcing. The accused person poured a mix of cobra and paraffin on her body and set fire to her.
</blockquote>
It is alleged that when Jenyure realised that Kabaya was about to flee, she summoned all her strength whilst engulfed by flames and grabbed him and he also caught fire. That was how he sustained burns.
The court further heard that a passer-by, Zulu Digital, heard the now deceased screaming and opened the door.
He tried to extinguish the flames with the help of other community members who had gathered at the scene.
Kabaya and Jenyure were taken to Makumbe Hospital in Domboshava for treatment and later transferred to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals due to the severity of the burns.
Unfortunately, Jenyure later died on April 17 at Parirenyatwa Hospital and her remains await postmortem.

Man Sets Estranged Wife On Fire

Charity Chidziwa, a 23-year-old woman, was arraigned before the Mbare Magistrates’ court for allegedly murdering her ex-husband, Prosper Masimba Chibisa.
Chidziwa and Prosper Masimba Chibisa have been married since 2021, according to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Chidziwa allegedly had a misunderstanding with her estranged husband sometime in January 2024. Said the NPA in a statement:
<blockquote>
Sometime in January 2024, they had a misunderstanding which prompted the accused person to move back to her parents’ home which is a stone’s throw away from where they stayed with her husband. The two used to spend nights together after the separation.
On the 2nd of April 2024 at around 1800 hours the two were at the deceased’s home watching a movie on the deceased’s mobile phone.
A misunderstanding arose when the deceased asked the accused person why she had a contraception implant which would last for ten years instead of one which would last for five years.
The matter escalated into a fight and the accused person picked a knife and stabbed the deceased on the left armpit.
</blockquote>
The now-deceased bled profusely from the open wound before he was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The matter was reported to the Police leading to Chidziwa’s arrest.
The matter was remanded to the 17th of April 2024.

Woman Kills Husband Following Disagreement Over Contraceptive Choice

Tsungai Makumbe, a Member of Parliament from ZANU PF, has filed a legal case against his estranged partner, Ludia Makuvure, alleging damage to his reputation and unspecified threats, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200024707/zanu-pf-mp-drags-lover-to-court">NewsDay</a>.
In court, before magistrate Johanna Mukwesha, it was revealed that the relationship between the two deteriorated when the Mazowe North legislator requested a paternity test for their minor child.
Makumbe sought a protection order against his ex-partner, claiming she harassed him at his workplace at the ZANU PF headquarters.
Additionally, she allegedly spread negative information about him while visiting Parliament.
The legislator also requested that the court prevent the respondent from contacting members of his church, Johane Masowe Chishanu in Marimba, where she supposedly fabricated rumours of a non-existent romantic involvement. Said Makumbe:
<blockquote>
She calls almost every male member of my church and lies to them that I am bedding their wives and threatens my female churchmates, dragging my name into the mud since I am a leader at the church.
</blockquote>
Makumbe argued in court that the respondent had no legitimate reason to visit the ZANU PF headquarters, as she neither worked there nor conducted any business on the party’s premises. Her sole association was as a party member.
Makuvure, in opposition, accused Makumbe of falsehoods before the court. She alleged that he had infected her with HIV and subsequently demanded paternity tests for their minor child.
She asserted her affiliation with Forever Associate Zimbabwe, a shadow organization linked to ZANU PF, emphasizing her unquestionable right to be present at the national party headquarters for meetings.
Makuvure informed the court that she did not object to Makumbe’s request for a paternity test.
However, she requested that the court also order him to provide maintenance for the minor child.
Magistrate Mukwesha granted Makumbe’s application for a protection order against the respondent.
In Zimbabwe, paternity disputes often arise in legal settings related to child maintenance.
In such cases, a parent (or alleged parent) may dispute paternity, claiming they are not the biological father of the child.
DNA testing is commonly used to establish paternity, although it can be relatively expensive.

ZANU PF MP Granted Protection Order Against Estranged Lover

Cecilia Chitambo, a 35-year-old woman, faced trial at the Chipinge Magistrates’ Court on charges of attempted murder. Chitambo is the second wife of the complainant, Fungai Nyazana. 
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), On January 1, 2024, Cecilia and Fungai had a heated disagreement because she suspected him of having an extramarital affair.
Amid the heated dispute, Cecilia left their marital home and sought refuge at her parent’s house.
Upon her return the next day, another argument erupted, this time over money. Cecilia disappeared briefly and then reappeared with a container filled with petrol.
In a horrifying turn of events, Cecilia doused Fungai with petrol and set him on fire. Desperate to save himself, Fungai rushed to the kitchen and poured a bucket of water over his burning body.
Fungai was rushed to the hospital for treatment, while Cecilia was subsequently arrested.
The court convicted Cecilia and sentenced her to 18 months in prison, with 6 months suspended for five years. She will serve an effective 12-month sentence.
Domestic violence has seen an alarming increase in Zimbabwe. The government has responded by enacting the Zimbabwe Domestic Violence Act (DVA) in 2007 to address this menace.

Man (22) Who Killed Wife (39) Arrested At Mother's Homestead

The Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops have expressed concern about the constant threat to peace in the country. They stated that the threat does not come from war, but from new challenges that disturb people’s calm and tranquillity. They highlighted the high levels of crime, an increase in armed robberies, and domestic violence within families. In a pastoral letter seen by Pindula News, they mentioned the perpetual state of being in an election mood, which brings fear and unease. They noted that elections in Zimbabwe are often marked by violence. We present the letter below:
<blockquote>
<h3>ZIMBABWE CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE </h3>
PASTORAL LETTER 
21 NOVEMBER 2023 
The Coming of Christ; “The Prince of Peace”
“For the child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on his shoulders; And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”(Isaiah 9:6).
1. Dear Brothers and Sisters, Men and Women of good will, as the Church begins the Season of Advent, we your shepherds and fellow citizens would like to exhort and reflect with you on this Holy season. Advent is in many ways a season of contradictions. In terms of the Church calendar we are at the beginning of the new Church year and yet civilly we are in the last month of the calendar. Socially, the season is lived in the frenzy of shopping getting ourselves ready for Christmas. Spiritually, we are preparing for the coming of Christ. We remember the Lord’s promise that he will come at the end of time. We also remember that Christ once came and inhabited our common home: mother earth. That was when he was born in Bethlehem of Judea.
2. Christ’s first coming was heralded by the prophets who called him the “Prince of Peace.” At his birth the angels sang “Glory to God in the highest and peace to people of good will. Though Advent presents us with many themes for reflection, the theme of peace seems to be the most imposing one. Globally, we are in a world that has seen a prolonged war between Russia and Ukraine. As if that was not enough, we now have another war in Israel and Palestine. Our own continent is not exempt. In its different regions we have pockets of violence that have seen many people living as the internally displaced or refugees.
3. As a nation our peace is constantly under threat. Not that there is a war threat, far from that, but we are seeing new threats to people’s calm and tranquility, which is what the Hebrew word for peace, “Shalom” entails. There is a high level of crime in many communities. We have seen the upsurge of armed robberies. Gender-based violence in families is on the rise. Politically, we seem to be perpetually in the election mood, a reality that in this country, sends a shudder down the spine. For our elections are characterized by violence.
4. Before and during the elections we made a plea for peace. We emphasized the dignity of the human person, the importance of tolerance, co-existence and suggested the politics of persuasion. We would like to express our gratitude to all citizens who did heed the message of peace. The past election was indeed different. It was not characterized by violence. That should be applauded. Though this is not to say there was no violence. We had hoped that as a nation we had seen the light and we were beginning to appreciate each other as citizens with divergent views and people of different persuasions, men and women who can rise above their differences. Sadly, as reported by the different election observers, our elections left a lot to be desired. They were characterized by a new form of violence: refusal to let the nation’s voices be heard through the ballot. That act of robbing people of their voices is a form of violence that should be condemned by all people of integrity, by all loving and peaceful citizens.
5. In the post-election period most of the gains that we had made; the promotion of peace, diffusing the tensions between various political players and their supporters were lost. There were retributions targeting those who were perceived to have voted wrongly, whatever that means! With the recent political recalls of the elected members of parliament, senators and councilors, the nation has been thrust into a new form of violence: people rightfully elected, can wantonly be recalled. It would seem the voices of the people who voted can easily be ignored. as if they were insignificant. Were those elected not given the mandate by the people? What happens when the people’s voices are silenced by the masters of political expediency? One thing for certain is that people feel they are not respected and listened to. This breeds tensions and many who have no ways of diffusing them bottle them up. This is not healthy for people and the society. If it is true that. ‘an injury to one of us is an injury to all of us; then we are all living in a wounded Society.
6. What d worse is what these recalls have unearthed. Apart from holding all of us in the dreaded perpetual election mode. they have given birth to violence. Even those who, for a short while, had shunned violence. have fallen back on their default position of violent campaigns. People are being abducted, brutalized and left for dead. Recently, a life was lost because of politics What is the objective of this violence? Is it to terrorize people into voting for a particular candidate or not to vote at all? We would like to reiterate what we said before the August elections when we directed our plea to the citizens “…Refuse to oe used in violent attacks against your fellow brothers and sisters. Any party or politician that incites violence or persuades you to loin in violent attacks, is not worthy of your vote. Give your vote to those who deserve it’ To the politicians we said,” _Peace begins with each one of us. In your roles, be ambassadors of peace. Let no blood be shed in your name and for your vote. Remember, “The bloodshed in the land cries out to God (Gen. 4: 10).
7. Together as we prepare to welcome Christ at Christmas, let us remember that when the “Prince of Peace.- and that He Hour Peace. The peace of Christ finds abode. In those who are calm and enjoy tranquility, it also embraces what the ancient Greeks said peace entails- unity and accord. Calm and tranquility, unity and accord are not far from our reach, we can achieve these if once again we recognise the dignity of the human person, something that Christ upheld by choosing to be born In human form and being in solidarity with us which is what his coming as “The Prince of Peace,” entails: ‘He identifies with us in all things but sin’ (Hebrews 4:15).
8. This Advent we once again appeal to our political leaders to denounce politically motivated violence. To the law enforcement agents, bring perpetrators of political violence to book. To the legislators, revisit the enacted laws that can easily be manipulated at the expense of the people’s basic rights and freedoms. It Is in the same vein that we would like to remind everyone that we all have a duty to work for the promotion of peace and to be agents of peace. We all need peace. Lack of peace has a negative effect on our country. Economically, it works against all our ideals of a middle Income economy and the realization of vision 2030. Socially, it breeds animosity and creates a divided nation. Spiritually, it robs us of our identity as the sons and daughters of God for, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called the sons of God’ (Matthew 5:9).
9. In this reflection we would like to exhort all peace4oving Zimbabweans to pray for peace particularly in our land and everywhere in solidarity with other people in other parts of the world which are troubled Let us work to foster peace, the greatest good that facilitates the development of nations and the progress of people. May the Lord look with a kindly countenance on our efforts to promote and build peace. We pray for all those whose mandate In the land is to safeguard the rights of our people that they may never tire in working for the creation of peaceful environments. May Christ, ‘the Prince of Peace’ who Is our Peace come and transform our attitudes and make all of us instruments of his peace.
We wish you a blessed Advent season and the peace of Christmas. 
Prayer 
“The Lord bless you and keep you; 
The Lord make His face shine upon you 
and be gracious to you; 
the Lord turn his face towards you give you His peace’ 
Amen. (Numbers 6: 24 26).

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Republic</a> Police has expressed concern about the increasing number of <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">murder cases</a> across the country, particularly those resulting from <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">domestic violence</a> due to accusations of infidelity.

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Republic Police</a> is deeply concerned about the trend of violence and urges individuals to find peaceful ways to resolve disputes. We present the police statement below:
<blockquote>
<h2>MURDER CASES DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE</h2>

Zimbabwe Police Worried About Rise In Domestic Violence And Murder

A 40-year-old man from Sakubva in Mutare died after he fell off from the fourth floor of Matida Flats while wrestling with his lover’s estranged husband.
Tawanda Chirenje (25) allegedly caught the now-deceased Gift Saungweme in a compromising position with his wife, Phillipa Dariyani (25).
Saungweme and Dariyani were at a friend’s apartment.
ZRP spokesperson in Manicaland Province, Inspector Nobert Muzondo, said police have launched a manhunt for Chirenje. He said:
<blockquote>
Chirenje had caught Dariyani drinking beer with Saungweme in a friend’s apartment. He assaulted her with the flat side of a machete, booted feet, and fists and proceeded to assault Saungweme.
They wrestled towards an open window and as they wrestled, Saungweme fell off the window from the fourth floor. He sustained head injuries and died on Monday morning.
We are treating the matter as a murder incident as the circumstances are all pointing that way.
As the police, we urge people not to take the law into their own hands and not to use violence when such matters arise.
</blockquote>
Dariyami’s friend, Shallon Maisera, in whose apartment the two lovebirds were caught red-handed, told <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/cheat-falls-from-4th-floor-window/">The Manica Post</a> that she had been drinking with Dariyami and Saungweme at the bar that night. She said:
<blockquote>
I offered them my apartment because her children were sleeping in her apartment, which is on the third floor.
The three of us had been drinking in my apartment when Saungweme sent me to buy more beer and it was already past midnight.
When I came back, I was shocked to find Chirenje inside my apartment with the lovebirds.
Dariyani was crying and begging Chirenje to forgive her. I knocked and Chirenje opened the door for me.
He told me that he had caught the two in bed and that he wanted to kill them. I tried to stop him but he pushed and locked me outside.
Shortly afterward, he came out and told me that Saungweme had jumped off the window. He then walked away after that.
</blockquote>
Maisera said Dariyami was assaulted all over her body with the machete.
She said when they rushed downstairs, Saungweme who was still alive but badly injured asked for some water. Said Maisera:
<blockquote>
I asked him if he had been pushed off the window or if he had jumped but he kept saying ‘pakaipa’ so we rushed him to the hospital where he died later on.

Man Falls From 4th Floor Fighting Off Lover's Husband

A Filabusi couple allegedly chained up, tortured their maid (19) and poured boiling water on her genitals for allegedly stealing US$200.
On 31 January 2022, Thembelani Moyo (28) and Sibongile Mpofu (28) who stay at Vukuzenzele village in Filabusi and work at Senga Hill Mill Mine discovered that US$200 which they had kept in their wardrobe was missing.
The two allegedly assaulted their housemaid- who cannot be named for ethical reasons- but she denied seeing the money, let alone stealing it.
However, after she had been savagely beaten up, the maid confessed that she had stolen the money and had already spent US$169 and was left with US$31.
It is alleged that a neighbour, Simangaliso Moyo, arrived at the scene with a sjambok and whipped the chained teen.
Mpofu then allegedly boiled water which she poured onto the half-dead maid’s private parts, saying that was to stop her from having sex with any man.
After assaulting the maid, the couple reported her to the police for theft leading to her arrest.
The maid pleaded guilty to theft when she appeared before Filabusi magistrate Abednico Ndebele but also exposed the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of her employers.
Moyo admitted that they had chained her to stop her from running away.
The magistrate ordered that the teenager must be examined by a State doctor and remanded her out of custody.
While she was out of custody, the maid reported the couple and Simangaliso to the police, for assaulting her and scalding her on her private parts with hot water.
A medical report detailing the extent of the injuries on the maid’s privates was availed in her second court appearance.
The maid was sentenced to six months in prison by magistrate Ndebele.
However, four months of the sentence were suspended for three years on condition that she does not commit an offence involving dishonesty.
The remaining two months were also suspended on condition that she restitutes the US$169.
The couple and their neighbour were arrested for assault and appeared before Filabusi magistrate Sukoluhle Belinda Nunu last Wednesday.
Magistrate Nunu remanded them out of custody on $40 000 bail each, to 3 February for trial. | <a href="https://www.bmetro.co.zw/man-wife-gang-up-to-torture-thief-maid/">B-Metro</a>

Couple Chains, Scalds, And Sjamboks Thieving Housemaid

A police officer based in Bulawayo on Monday shot and killed an unarmed man who was a suspect in a domestic violence case.
The man, Thembani Dube, was fleeing from the police when he was shot in the back of the head.
The incident took place in Bulawayo’s Phelandaba West suburb around 4 PM.
<a href="https://cite.org.zw/police-fatally-shoot-unarmed-fleeing-man-in-the-head/">CITE</a> reported eyewitnesses as saying the now-deceased had an altercation with his wife who resides in Cowdray Park.
The woman reported the matter to the police and the police tracked down Dube to Phelandaba West where he was said to be visiting a friend intending to arrest him.
Assistant Inspector Zimbeva, who was armed, attempted to arrest Dube but he reportedly fled.
Zimbeva then reportedly opened fire and shot Dube in the back of his head.
Eyewitnesses said Dube staggered a few metres and collapsed next to a pile of bricks at a house under construction.
An ambulance was immediately summoned and Dube was pronounced dead at the scene.
ZRP national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident saying investigations were underway. He said:
<blockquote>
We are conducting investigations into the incident. We are told he was trying to effect an arrest then suddenly there was a shootout.
That is why I am saying we are conducting investigations with a view to finding the full circumstances behind the unfortunate incident.

Unarmed Domestic Violence Suspect Shot Dead While Fleeing Arrest

A 27-year-old man from Bulawayo was fined $30 000 for assaulting his wife as punishment for being greeted by another man while she was on her way to church.
The accused, Daniel Ncube from Njube suburb recently appeared before Western Commonage magistrate Shepherd Mjanja charged with physical abuse as defined in Section 3 (1) (a) as read with Section 4 of the Domestic Violence Act Chapter 5:16.

It was further alleged that when the couple met, Nkomazana was greeted by another man and that angered Ncube.
Nkomazana explained to her husband that there was nothing going on between her and the man but Ncube became violent and assaulted her with fists on the head.
She fled and sought refuge at a nearby house.
Ncube allegedly followed his wife and hit her again with fists and open hands several times all over her body.
The owner of the house then summoned members of the Neighborhood Watch Committee who came to apprehend Ncube.
They escorted him to ZRP Njube where a charge of physical abuse was filed against him. | <a href="https://www.bmetro.co.zw/man-assaults-wife-for-being-greeted-by-another-man/">B-Metro</a>

Man (50) Assaults Wife For Denying Him Sex, Fined Z$24 000

Police in Harare have arrested two Hopley brothers who stripped a man naked and viciously attacked him using a machete.
Blessing Gurure and his younger brother Tapiwa (23) attacked William Karumbidza (27), who is well known at Gazaland, Highfield, after they caught him in bed with Blessing’s estranged wife, Tesla Chirukamure, after a tip-off.
William, of Glen Norah, sustained a deep cut on his forehead and Tesla suffered two cuts on her left thigh. Both were rushed to Sally Mugabe Central Hospital.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Harare Province, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the arrest. He said:
<blockquote>
Police are investigating an attempted murder case involving two men believed to be artisanal minors, who attacked a Glen Norah man.
Circumstances were that one of the suspects found the complainant sleeping with his wife at around 1 am in Hopley.
</blockquote>
A neighbour who spoke to H-Metro on condition of anonymity said the community saved William from being set on fire by Blessing in anger. Said the neighbour:
<blockquote>
William will never set foot in Hopley or entertain sex workers again, considering the way he was attacked.
Tesla’s husband ruthlessly attacked him and did not want to be restrained.
He tied William’s hands and legs with a rope used to draw water from the well and sliced his leg and forehead with a machete.
We engaged people, who were partying in the neighbourhood, to help us save William from being set on fire.
They pulled him off the bed naked, placed him outside the house and covered him with blankets.
They asked him to choose between being set on fire or being thrown into the well.
However, some men disarmed Tesla’s husband and saved William and Tesla’s lives.
</blockquote>
William said Tesla had told her that she had separated from her husband and for the past four months he never saw any man at the house.
Tesla said she separated from Blessing after he started cheating on her in Mazowe and decided to return to their rented house in Hopley. She said:
<blockquote>
He started cheating on me and I confronted him, and he threatened to kill me.
I decided to return to our rented house in Hopley where I invited William for quality time.
Blessing and his younger brother, Tapiwa, came while we were watching television in bed and broke down the door and attacked us with a machete.
I escaped and met some men, who looked like robbers, after midnight and begged them for help.
They saw the way I was bleeding and the wounds and accompanied me back to the house.
They attacked Blessing and Tapiwa with stones until other people came and helped to rescue William from further attacks.
Two of these guys took William’s US$80 and our two cellphones and a gas tank, as compensation for saving us from Blessing and Tapiwa’s attacks.
I could not argue with them since I suspected them to be robbers and they had rescued us.

Mutoko Man Shoves Hoe Handle Into Wife's Privates

Former Registrar General Tobaiwa Mudede has been hauled before a magistrate on allegations of assaulting his daughter-in-law when she had a quarrel with her husband, Mudede’s son, last month.
Mudede pleaded not guilty to the charges when he appeared before magistrate Dennis Mangosi, who remanded him out of custody to 12 January for trial.

Allegations are that on 22 November at around 6 pm, Tawanda and his wife visited Mudede at his house in Borrowdale.
Upon arrival, Tawanda called his wife into his room and closed the door from the inside, the court heard.
The wife asked Twanda why he had closed the door and he replied that she was not leaving his father’s place for Chitungwiza.
A misunderstanding arose between the two, whereupon Tawanda assaulted his wife with a broomstick.
It is alleged that Masawi managed to leave the room and ran to their car which was parked outside the gate.
Tawanda reportedly followed his wife and entered into the car where he also allegedly continued assaulting her.
Masawi then called and Mudede rushed to the scene.
But instead of restraining his son, Tobaiwa Mudede allegedly slapped his daughter-in-law in the face.

Man Reclaims Lobola Cow After Dispute With His Wife

A South African-based Zimbabwean woman who admitted to having killed her husband, confessed to the crime years later because, according to her, his ghost was haunting her and giving her sleepless nights.
Nancy Majonhi reportedly murdered his husband, chopped up his body and threw the pieces in three pit latrines.
According to Nancy’s brother, Andrew Majonhi, when his sister told the entire family what she did and how she could not sleep because her husband’s ghost was haunting her, they thought she has lost her mind.
Previously Majonhi told everyone, and the police, that her husband, Prosper Chipungare, 44, had gone missing in July 2015.
However, in January this year, she confessed to her family back in Zimbabwe that she had killed her husband. Said, Andrew:
<blockquote>
She claimed that Chipungare was haunting her and that his ghost was giving her sleepless nights.
She wanted people to know the truth. She wanted the family to know how she killed her husband.
She was battling to sleep for four years. This compelled her to first confess to her children, who are working in Cape Town, in December. Later that month, she travelled to Zimbabwe, where she told our mother about what she did.
She said she killed Chipungare after they argued over money. Nancy claimed that she confronted Chipungare about his misuse of family finances. She became irate and killed him.
She said her husband was forcing her to confess to killing him in order to find peace.
We thought that she was mad because, in 2015, she lied to us, saying her husband was missing.
Her revelation has shocked all of us back home and in South Africa. We then decided that we were going to take her back to South Africa to confess to the police for her wrongdoings.
</blockquote>
She thoroughly cleaned the crime scene, then went to the Sun City police station to report Chipungare missing.
She then packed her bags and returned to Zimbabwe.
Nancy could have confessed to the police in January 2021 – but, due to COVID-19 regulations, she could not travel back to South Africa from Zimbabwe.
Nancy who faces a charge of murder appeared at the Mogwase Magistrate’s Court for a bail application on Thursday.
However, her matter was postponed to 21 September.

Man Fined $8 000 For Beating Up Girlfriend

A 75-year-old man from the Whunga area in Beitbridge West hacked his live-in girlified (57) to death with a machete and an axe following an argument before hanging himself on a tree.
Sitoboli Maluko killed the woman, Violet Ncube as his 16-year-old stepson watched in horror on Monday last week.
Chief Superintendent Tichaona Nyongo, the police officer commanding Beitbridge district, confirmed the incident on Tuesday.
Nyongo said the couple’s bodies were taken to the Beitbridge district mortuary pending post-mortem. He said:
<blockquote>So far, we have established that on April 5 around 0000 hours midnight, Ncube and Maluko had a heated argument over an unknown matter in their bedroom.
On the same date at around 0930 hours, Maluko and Ncube along with his stepson (16) drove their donkey-drawn cart to Sebasa Irrigation Scheme. The accused person had a machete and an axe in the scotch cart.</blockquote>
When they had travelled for about 5 km from their homestead, Maluko suddenly attacked Ncube with a machete and she started running away.
He, however, followed Ncube in hot pursuit and struck the woman on the right knee and she fell down.
Chief Supt Nyongo said Maluko chopped off Ncube’s left palm inflicting a deep cut on the right wrist and right side of the neck with an axe, adding:
<blockquote>After realising she was motionless, he collected his axe and machete from the crime scene. He went on to hang himself from a nearby tree.</blockquote>
The boy, who had been watching the horror unfold while his stepfather attacked his mother, later gained strength and returned to the village to inform his sister who then made a report to the police.
Reports indicate that Maluko and Ncube started cohabiting at the woman’s homestead as husband and wife in January this year.

75-year-old Man Kills Live-in Girlfriend (57)

An enraged 88-year-old Mutoko woman last week struck her 99-year-old husband who later died due to the injury he sustained during the attack after he refused to help her with household chores, ZTN reports.
99 year old Saidi Daiton was struck by bricks by Enesia Chivhinge after he reportedly refused to help her carry some cowpeas from their field. The incident occurred at Tamuka village in Mutoko on Thursday.
The Incident was confirmed by Mashonaland East Provincial Spokesperson Tendai Mwanza who said:
<blockquote>Police in Mutoko have arrested an 88-year-old woman after she allegedly hit her 99 year old husband with some pieces of bricks leading to his death a few days later.
The two reportedly had a misunderstanding after the now deceased allegedly refused to help the accused to ferry cow peas from their field to their home.
This is believed to have not gone down well with the accused who allegedly picked up some farm brick pieces and struck Saidi Daiton several times on the left hand and both legs.</blockquote>
An informant Tafadzwa Chivhinge told the police that when he got home that day, the now-deceased told him he had been attacked by his wife and Chivhinde after inspecting his injuries told him to seek medical attention. Dalton’s condition is said to have deteriorated 2 days later and when he was rushed to a nearby clinic he was pronounced dead on arrival according to Inspector Mwanza:
<blockquote>The informant hired a motor vehicle to ferry him to Nzira Clinic but Saidi Daiton unfortunately passed away on the way at around 1800 hours. The informant made a report at ZRP Mutoko on 21 March 2021 at around 0700 hours leading the police to attend. The accused was arrested and detained at ZRP Mutoko.
The body was ferried to Murewa Hospital Mortuary for a post-mortem. It is saddening to note that the couple got involved in domestic violence at such ages. People should understand the need to maintain peace with each other even in times of misunderstandings.</blockquote>
