A Harare woman has dragged her ex-husband to court accusing him of disturbing her peace.
Sarah Takadini, 24, hauled Paradzia Makore, 33, to Harare civil court seeking a protection order.
Sarah told the court that Paradzai was in the habit of hurling insults towards her in the public.
She said he once insulted her revealing her HIV status at a shopping centre.
"On the second week of October we met at the shopping centre and he told me that he gave me AIDS and I was going to die no matter what.
"He threatened me saying that if I won't return home by 26th of December my father was going to die.
"I once reported him to the police at Southley Park but they did not do anything because they are his friends that is why I have raised the issue with this court.
"All I want is my space and a peace order," she said.
In his defence, Paradzai insisted that Sarah was still his wife and they were just on separation.
He also denied that he insults Sarah.
"She is my wife and we are not divorced; we are just on separation for now because her parents took her because I did not complete paying the lobola"
"For now she is staying at her parent s' house. I did not insult her and I still love her as my wife," he said.
Magistrate Noah Gwatidzo, who presided over the case, granted the protection order in Sarah's favour.
