In a very rare incident,a Harare man who could no longer bear the wife’s emotional and physical torments and excessive abuse finally forgo his pride and approaches the court for protection and redress.
According to the Sunday Mail, Tonderai Furamera sensationally told the court that his wife, Yvonne Mazorodze, was in the habit of assaulting him. The court also heard that the complainant had been at one time hospitalised after the accused brutally assaulted him.
Pleading with the court, Furamera said:
Your worship, I am asking for a peace order against my wife Yvonne Mazorodze because she is violent. She beats me up whenever she feels like it.s
She attacked and left me hospitalised. On another occasion, I lost some teeth.
I want my clothes and other possessions since I moved out of the house, but she does want to give me my belongings.
In defence, Mazorodze said she was forced to attack her husband because he was neglecting his children.
Harare Civil Court magistrate Mrs Tsitsi Miti granted the peace order.
