A business partnership dispute between spouses has reached the Harare Civil Court after disagreements over shop management escalated into legal action. Bridget Muchawira filed complaints against her husband, Libert Tsingano, before Magistrate Johanna Mukwesha, alleging that she was excluded from business decisions despite their joint investment. The couple operated a neighborhood store for over two years, selling groceries, snacks, airtime, and household items from their property in Dzivaresekwa. Muchawira claims she originated the business concept while Tsingano contributed capital from informal trading ventures.

The conflict intensified when Tsingano allegedly brought relatives into the operation without consultation and restricted Muchawira's access to financial records. Muchawira accused her husband of diverting funds to another woman and treating the shop as personal property. Tsingano countered that his wife withdrew money without proper accounting and lacked the bookkeeping skills necessary for business operations. The dispute culminated when Muchawira locked the premises, and Tsingano forced entry to retrieve merchandise he considered rightfully his.

Magistrate Mukwesha issued a reciprocal order requiring both parties to maintain peace and resolve their differences through adult discussion.
