A 24-year-old man, Tonderai Mupindu, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison for ass@ulting his 45-year-old lover, Anna Fadzai Katoma, after accusing her of infidelity.
The incident, which unfolded in
Mvuma, Zimbabwe, occurred on September 3, 2024, when Mupindu discovered Katoma
in bed with his friend, Vitalis Masamha.
According to court documents
obtained by the Masvingo Mirror, Mupindu arrived at Katoma’s home early that
morning, only to find the two sharing a blanket. Shocked by the sight, he left
without confrontation. However, later that evening, he saw Katoma and Masamha
seated together outside Penny Beer Hall at Munzhaku Business Centre, which
prompted him to approach them.
Mupindu requested a private
conversation with Katoma, leading them back to her homestead. During this
meeting, he confronted her regarding the alleged affair, but she denied any
wrongdoing. In a fit of rage, Mupindu began assaulting Katoma, resulting in
visible injuries, including a swollen face and bruises around her left ear and
eyes.Following the ass@ult, Katoma reported the incident to the police, leading
to Mupindu's arrest. He was charged and appeared before Magistrate Constance
Mutandwa, who handed down the 12-month sentence.
The prosecution, led by Simbarashe
Hwacha, confirmed that Mupindu's actions were fueled by jealousy and
accusations of infidelity after the earlier discovery.
