A BULAWAYO man working for a parastatal sold his car for $1 500 to impress his small house who is 20 years older than him.
It is alleged that the man from Mzilikazi sold his car at the NRZ auction that was held a few weeks ago and he managed to salvage $1 500 from the car. When he got the money, it is alleged, he left the place with a friend in the company of the said girlfriend. A well placed source said he disappeared from his home for more than one week as he was spending his money with his lover.
"On the day of the auction. I attended the sale and he managed to sell his car and he got the money. This auction was being conducted by NRZ and he was given his money on the spot," he said. It is alleged that on leaving the auction he left with the woman headed for the woman's house in the same suburb.
"He always tells us that he is in love and he told us that he would not be coming to work after selling his car. "The two had agreed to sell the car to have a good time together and during these days he was not coming to work," he said.
B-Metro visited the woman at her home at Q Square. She said she knew the man as a work mate and it was a coincidence that she was seen with him after the auction.
"I was offered transport by him we were coming from an auction sale. So what happened after they dropped me at my place I do not know but I was surprised as my sister phoned me the next morning telling me that his wife and his mother were at my place demanding their son," she said.
B- Metro was allowed to get into the house to see that she had no underground room that she used to hide the boyfriend.
"People say that I have an under- ground room where I hid him but you can come and see for yourself.
"I am more than 20 years older than him and when I am looking at him he is my son," she said.
B-Metro also spoke to the man at the centre of the controversy and he refuted the allegations claiming that it was not true that he had sold his car to impress a girlfriend.
"I sold that car because it was scrap and I got less than $500 for it. So what these people are saying is not true," he said.
He added that it was true that his wife and mother had gone to the Mzilikazi woman looking for him as he had slept out.
"I might have slept out but I did not sleep at her place and they were misled into thinking that I had slept in Mzilikazi," he said.
