In a heartbreaking turn of events, Patricia Ganga, a tollgate cashier, finds herself at the center of a tumultuous marital dispute after her husband of nine years, Macdonald Mukosera, uncovered an alleged affair between Patricia and her workmate, Derrick Chihoma. The revelation has led to a series of unfortunate events, including a physical altercation and a clash involving Patricia’s brothers.
Macdonald Mukosera, deeply hurt by the discovery, disclosed that his wife had been engaging in a secret romantic relationship with Derrick for the past six months. Patricia allegedly used the pretext of working double shifts to spend intimate moments with Derrick at a rented room near her parents’ residence in Ruwa.
“My wife has been bedding Derrick for the past six months.
“Patricia faked double shifts to spend quality time with Derrick at a rented room close to her parents’ house.
“After exposing this illicit affair and the love nest, her brothers stood with their sister and attacked me, and the case was reported at Ruwa Police Station.
“Patricia waindinyepera kuti arikurara paGoromonzi tollgate pabasa iye woenda zvake kunosasana naDerrick.
“She had become obsessed with Derrick to the extent of lying about many double shifts, which made me suspicious, and I investigated and discovered their shenanigans.
“She has since packed her belongings and left,” said Macdonald.
Patricia and Derrick deny being in a relationship and claim to be work colleagues only.
“I do not want this story published in newspapers please. It’s our family matter and has nothing to do with many people, excuse me,” said Patricia, before hanging up.
Derrick said their relationship was only work related.
“I work with Patricia and I want to believe that she could have been abused for quite some time because her husband is too jealous and violent.
“He confronted me, accusing me of dating Patricia, but the truth is that we are only workmates.
“Murume wake anehasha, anobvarura munhu zvekuti Patricia aripamahwani,” said Derrick.
Macdonald has reportedly filed a lawsuit claiming damages for adultery, and an assault case against Tapiwa and Richard, while Patricia has opened a domestic violence case.
