ZANU PF MP for Mazowe West Richard Chirongwe faces possible arrest after he allegedly threatened to shoot his wife whom he accused of engaging in an extra marital affair.
The matter came to light after the legislator's wife, Catherine Munjayi, made a report at Marlborough police station on January 3 claiming that Chirongwe had threatened to shoot her with a gun.
According to police papers in our possession, Chirogwe's outburst followed an incident when he met his wife carrying a male passenger in her car in the evening at Asbrittle Shopping Centre in Marlborough.
Upon seeing the two, the MP allegedly demanded an explanation from his wife as to the relationship between her and the male passenger, who happened to be a policeman, but was not satisfied by the response.
