A Harare woman suffered a continuous menstrual problem after her husband's first wife reportedly bewitched her in a bid to scare her away from her men, a court heard.

Florence Chimbirimi, from Hatcliffe Extension, is said to have spent more than three months in hospital after her husband's first wife Barbara Masiiwa allegedly bewitched her. This was heard at the Harare Civil Court where Florence was seeking a peace order against Barbara. She told the court that Barbara stole her panties and took them to a sangoma in Domboshava where they were 'sorted' to bewitch her.

"Barbara came to my place of residence with intentions of beating me up. Unfortunately, I was in hospital. I was suffering from non-stop menstrual problems which I later learnt were caused by her. I was told that she sent my friend to steal my underwear and took the undergarment to a traditional healer in Domboshava," she said.

However, Barbara denied the allegations. She instead blasted Florence for wrecking her marriage.

"I never bewitched her as she alleges. I should be the one complaining because she snatched my husband. We later moved from Hatcliffe Extension to stay in Hopley Farm and that is where I am currently staying with my husband," she said.

Florence interjected saying she contributed towards the construction of the Hopley house.

"I also contributed my money towards building that house. I don't know what I should do because I also want to stay at that house I contributed in building," she said.

That prompted Magistrate Milton Serima who presided over the case to ask Barbara whether she was prepared to share the same roof with her husband's second wife. Barbara told the court that she was NOT prepared since they were having differences.

Magistrate Serima granted the two a reciprocal peace order. He ordered them to observe peace towards each other and try to solve their differences amicably.
