GRANDPA SOBS IN COURT

- Maria Chiguvari

AN 80-YEAR-OLD grandpa sobbed in court after being granted a protection order against his abusive granddaugh­ter.

Magistrate Tamara Chibindi was convinced by Sekuru Augustine Marora’s submission­s that his granddaugh­ter, Shamiso Zhanye, had been harassing him.

He begged the magistrate to help him evict Shamiso from his house.

Sekuru Augustine stated that his granddaugh­ter had a tendency of bringing traditiona­l healers to his house.

“I have no peace in my house and I no longer want her to continue living with me.

She does drugs and is in the habit of selling my valuables to buy drugs.

“Another thing is that my granddaugh­ter brings her boyfriends to my house and I don’t like it,” he said

In her counter argument, Shamiso said her grandfathe­r was lying against her.

“He knows that I am a traditiona­l healer and he gave me permission to do consultati­ons at his house.

“I don’t do drugs and I think old age is catching up with him,” she said.
