A Harare man, Tonderai Kumatsa, recently sought a peace order against his former wife, Violet Zulu. He alleged that she had disrupted his new marriage by returning to their home and insulting both him and his current spouse. Kumatsa stated that her actions caused his wife to leave and that he desired an end to the public insults.
Zulu denied these accusations, testifying that she had never been married to another man and had a right to return to her property. She claimed that Kumatsa’s new wife was not living at the house at the time and that she could not have chased her away. Zulu further alleged that Kumatsa was the one disturbing her by visiting at odd hours to request money for rent.
The presiding magistrate, Joanna Mukwesha, dismissed the case after finding that Kumatsa had not provided sufficient evidence to support his claims.
