A former Member of Parliament flew into a rage accusing his wife of bonking a pastor.
Timothy Mubhawu, former Mabvuku MP, struck his wife with a machete accusing her of cheating with Pastor Manson Munava Mpofu. The wife, Molleen Elizabeth, sustained injuries and was treated at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals.
Mubhawu (52) of number 17 Donbrook, Acturus in Harare appeared before Harare magistrate Ms Nomsa Sabarauta facing physical abuse charges in contravention of the Domestic Violence Act. Mubhawu was remanded to June 20 for his trial on $100 bail.
The court heard that on May 15 this year around 9pm, Mubhawu had a dispute with his wife over infidelity. He dragged his wife into the bedroom and struck her with a machete on the knee and shoulder.
Molleen was cut on her right palm while trying to block the machete. She reported the matter to police leading to the arrest of Mubhawu.-Herald
