Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A man from Makoni District, Manicaland Province, reportedly assaulted his married neighbour after she turned down his love proposals.<\/p>\n

Rabhani Dzveta of Nyamombe Village allegedly attempted to entice Pamela Mafuta, whose husband stays in Botswana, into an adulterous relationship.<\/p>\n

Mafuta told the traditional court that Dzveta assaulted her after she spurned her advances twice. She said:<\/p>\n

Dzveta visited my homestead and proposed love to me and I turned him down. He came back on the second day and I turned him down again.<\/p>\n

He became angry, asking why I was refusing to date him. He said l was dating other men in the village. He attacked me until I fell down.<\/p>\n

My two children witnessed the whole drama. He has no shame at all because his wife is my friend. He is also in the habit of hitting his wife.<\/p>\n

However, Dzveta denied ever proposing love to Mafuta but admitted that he assaulted her in retaliation. He said:<\/p>\n

She is lying that I proposed love to her. We fought after I barred her from socialising with my wife.<\/p>\n

She is not of good moral standing, so I don\u2019t want her to influence my wife.<\/p>\n

However, my wife is also defying my instructions and continues to befriend Mrs Mafuta. I have failed to control these two women.<\/p>\n

I approached Mrs Mafuta and told her to stay away from my wife. This angered her and she assaulted me.<\/p>\n

I retaliated, but now she is cooking up stories that I proposed love to her.<\/p>\n

In his ruling, Chief Makoni ordered Dzveta to pay a fine of two beasts and a goat for beating up his neighbour\u2019s wife. Said the chief:<\/p>\n

We do not tolerate violence against women. Men should protect women but you are behaving like a village bully, moving around beating other men\u2019s wives.<\/p>\n
