'I love my wife but she is a witch', magistrate told

A Harare man - Munyaradzi Chukumbu told a court that his dear wife is a witch claiming that his brother's would dream having sex with unknown people because of her.

Chukumbu claimed that  Beaha Gadaga has caused too much trouble in his family.

"This woman has caused serious problems in my family. My brothers are experiencing some spiritual sex whereby they would just dream having sex with unknown people" he  told magistrate Yeukai Dzuda.

He narrated of an incident when she started making some strange sounds like a bull in the house.

"I loved my wife but what infuriated me is that she is not even bothered by the situation

"I tried to look for help from pastors and other people but it did not work because she did not comply so we separated and she went to stay with her parents together with the children".

However, Gadaga gave a different account of events.

She said Chukumbu dropped out from bible college where he was training to be a pastor "and he started looking for prophets and traditional healers who came to the house and started burning snakes and other things in the name of cleansing the family and they would make noise disturbing the entire neighbourhood.

"I refused to be involved in their cleansing process because I am a Christian so I advised him to seek for divine help that is when he called my aunt and told her to take me to my maternal home so that they would cleanse their home in my absence.

"My aunt and I were chased like dogs at home by my husband and his relatives calling me a witch" she said.

Dzuda was due give a ruling today.
