PERHAPS the social networking site Facebook needs a relationship status that reads, "married but still developing an affection and crush on my boss" following a case of a Bulawayo woman from Entumbane suburb who had her marriage severed after her husband found a letter addressed to her boss.
The letter was destined to prophet Thabiso Ngwenya for 'bombing'.
Prophet Ngwenya is popularly known for his 'bombing' crusades where women who seek love fortunes from their errand husbands visited the Prophet to have their ailing relationship stimulated.
The matter came to light when Cecillia Ngwenya sought the sanctuary of the court to juxtapose the impasse with her husband Sikhumbuzo Ngwenya following a bitter wrangle over the custody of their two children.
Sikhumbuzo is employed as a fork- lift driver at National Foods and Cecilia is working at Valley View Butchery in Entumbane suburb.
In terms of the Maintenance Act Chapter 5:09, Cecillia was claiming $250 and told the court that she needed the money for the upkeep of their children.
To justify her claim, in her founding affidavit, she stated that she needed money for fees and food, rent and clothes for their two children.
In response Mr Ngwenya said the money was exorbitant taking into account the salary he was getting.
Narrating his ordeal and the events, which were a last straw to his blossoming marriage Mr Ngwenya said when he came back from South Africa where he was working he discovered that his wife was now roving her eyes for her boss.
To justify his sentiments Mr Ngwenya produced a letter, which his wife had written and was addressed to the boss Obert Mlilo of Valley view Butchery.
Ms Ngwenya although she was at first evasive saying the letter was not addressed to her boss from a love perspective but she was looking for a job.
She was later sacrificed by the contents which were emblazoned in the letter and part of the letter reads,"yimi yimi s'thandwa ngifuna ungithengele indlu, ngifuna ungigcine njengalokhu okwenza abantwana bakho (it is me your darling I want you to take care of me, I wish to be taken care of the way you do your children.)"
Ms Ngwenya confessed to the court that she intended to take the letter to Prophet Ngwenya for 'bombing'.
Prodded to respond to the contents of the letter Ms Ngwenya admitted that the letter was indeed addressed and destined to her boss.
At the end of the day the presiding magistrate Mrs Tency Dube Chipumha ruled that by consent Mr Ngwenya should pay school fees and to buy clothes twice a year in June and December until they reached majority.
