A Rusape man faced a hired crowd at his home over a relationship dispute. Beyond Magwena was taken to Chief Makoni's court by Phibion Mutombwa, who accused him of living with his sister Prisca without proper family approval. Mutombwa demanded significant compensation, claiming Magwena lured Prisca away from her job and then failed to support her, leaving their mother without help.
Magwena argued that Prisca was just a girlfriend who knew he was married. He said he helped her financially after she lost her job, but was alarmed when she showed up at his house with thugs, forcing him to lock his wife inside for safety. Prisca countered that Magwena had abandoned her for five months, leaving her struggling, and that she only went to his home once out of desperation.
Chief Makoni ruled that if Magwena was serious about Prisca, he must pay three cattle and two goats as bride price to her family. He also warned Prisca to stop harassing Magwena's wife and told Magwena to inform his spouse about the situation.
