A Waterfalls woman has dragged her ex-husband to court after she was severely assaulted on allegations of dating four men on Whatsapp.

Tsitsi Mubalaka, divorced Douglas Katumba on 4 July 2011, accused her ex-husband of orchestrating violence. She told the court that Katumba would use violence as a way to force her back. Mubalaka said Katumba had taken all her mobile phones alleging that she was using the social media to communicate with other men.

"He always accuses me of being in love with a UK-based man called Tendai whom I am not even aware of. The accusation has intensified and he has taken all my cellphones," she said.

"We got divorced two years ago but he insists he wants to stay with me and harasses me in front of my workmates. Last year I went to South Africa seeking peace of mind, but he followed me there pleading for reconciliation. He forcefully impregnated me threatening he would kill me if I refuted," said Mubalaka.

Katumba however, dismissed the allegations, saying they were still a married couple since he was not given a divorce token (gupuro).

"We are still married and I do not harass her but we fight each other. As the head of the family I would like to address but she does not understand me so we end up quarreling which leads to a fight," he said.

Katumba accused his wife of infidelity insisting that she has four boyfriends.

"I saw love charts with four different men on her Whatsapp and one of the guys is someone she once dated in High School. Whenever I ask her, she usually says my lobola expired in 2011," said Katumba.

Mubalaka admitted she would use such terms like "sweetheart, honey, dear" on the social network.

"Yes I use such words like sweetie, darling and other romantic texts but that does not necessarily mean that I am in love with those guys," she claimed.

Magistrate Vongai Muchuchuto simply ordered the two to co-exist peacefully.
