A Harare man is reported to have lost his bid to stop his wife from going to work because "it will become difficult for him to control" her.
The unemployed husband, Henry Barura, appeared in the civil court before magistrate Mr Milton Serima and did not contest the protection order sought by wife, Lynette Makavanga.
Makavanga told the court that "My husband is trying to stop me from going to work. He told me that if I continue working it will become difficult for him to control me."
Makavanga also told the court that on one occasion Barura went to her workplace and caused havoc.
"He started shouting and screaming at my workplace's gate demanding to see the general manager. He is not employed and I am afraid his actions might result in me losing my job and our children will suffer."
Makavanga asked the court to stop him from visiting her at work.
Mr Serima granted Makavanga the relief she sought.
According to the order, Barura is to observe peace towards his wife and to stop preventing her from going to work.
