A Harare man’s birthday took a violent turn when he was allegedly attacked by two bouncers hired by his wife, after he discovered used condoms in their bedroom.
Kenias Zimbwa told the Harare Civil Court that the bouncers were hired by his wife, Chipiwa Taruona. He also claimed that he was kicked out of their house while naked.
Kenias further alleged that his wife had previously attacked him with a screwdriver on four separate occasions.
“I was hurt to know that my wife has been having extramarital affairs after starving me of sex for months,” he said. “She does not cook for me and I am forced to sleep without a blanket or rather on the floor. I am scared that she will end up killing me, I wish the court could protect me.”
In response to the allegations, Chipiwa admitted to hiring the bouncers, but claimed that her husband had been sexually abusing her for years. “My husband is in the habit of sexually abusing me for years. I hired people to attack him,” she said.
Magistrate Meenal Naratom granted Chipiwa a protection order. She advised Kenias to apply for his own protection order.
