Cathrine Munjayi, wife of Zanu PF Mazowe West legislator Richard Chirongwe, has withdrawn charges against her gun-toting husband.
Munjayi, 36, told reporters that she withdrew the charges against her husband at Marlborough Police Station on Tuesday last week.
Munyayi said she withdrew the charges last week on Tuesday chiefly because she still loves her husband and secondly, to avoid embarrassing my party.
The legislator was facing charges of contravening Section 186, (a) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform Act). The matter was recorded at Marlborough Police Station under case number RRB1173495 on January 3.
Chirongwe threatened to shoot his wife with a gun accusing her of engaging in an extra marital affair after he found her with a male passenger policemen in her car at Ashbrittle Shopping Centre in Marlborough.
The legislator was not satisfied with the explanation that the passenger was a policeman from Mazowe Police Station whom she had given a lift and threatened to shoot her.
