He stole my panties, wife claims in stunning court testimony

- Maria Chiguvari

A HARARE woman yesterday accused her husband of practising witchcraft when she applied for a protection order against him.

Violet Mandoza, from Hatcliffe Extension, said her husband, Daniel Chumburu, was abusive and she proved it by showing the court scars on her body, inflicted by him.

She said Daniel had also evicted her from their matrimonia­l home.

“He stole my underwear and my ID. He doesn’t want me to have an ID saying that he owns me.

“He chased me away from home after assaulting me.

“I have scars to show the court,” Violet said.

Daniel argued that Violet is the one who abuses him, saying she does not sleep at home

He claimed that he had never assaulted Violet or chased from their matrimonia­l home.

“She left home on her own, it has been a year now since she left.

“The issue about her panties, she is lying. “I know nothing about that,” he said.

The protection order applicatio­n was granted.

Daniel was ordered not to physically abuse his wife.
