A married woman is accused of dumping her four year old daughter to co- habit with her lover after refusing to settle with her husband in South Africa.
Lorraine Muguti Chigudu, 28, is reported to have decided to move in with her lover only identified as Fortune in Queensdale after she refused to settle in South Africa where her husband, Martin Garamukanwa, 36, lives.
She left her daughter and some of her property in the custody of her parents in Seke's Unit L suburb where Martin later went to collect his daughter before crossing the border with the minor.
Lorraine lodged a report with International Police and Martin was tracked and asked to return and the former is contemplating approaching the Civil Court for custody of the child.
Martin, a truck driver in South Africa, confirmed crossing the border with the child after Lorraine refused to meet him or or give him the traveling documents for the child.
"We applied for the traveling documents for our child planning to go and settle in South Africa but my wife decided to stay here after she was lured by one of her workmates, her lover," said Martin.
"She relocated to Queensdale behind my back as well as her parents' back leaving the child and some of the property in her parents' custody.
"Upon my return from South Africa, she refused to meet me over the traveling arrangements and I visited her parents only to be told that they were not aware of where she was staying.
"I discovered that she took some of the property and the traveling documents for the child could not be found and I decided to fill an affidavit form since I had a certified duplicate of the original passport of the child.
"I never crossed the border with the child illegally as what she wants people to believe, she is the one who decided to co-habit South yet lost somewhere in Queensdale.
"I stayed with the child for almost eight months in South Africa only to be approached by InterPol and they checked our documents and were satisfied that the child crossed the border legally.
"InterPol advised me to return to the country and Lorraine refused to meet me and does not want to surrender the property and the child's passport.
"I lodged a report of theft of property with police at Machipisa under CR103/10/14 after I returned from South Africa only to learn that my wife had relocated," said Martin.
Lorraine could neither confirm nor deny the infidelity allegations saying she practiced journalism and could not give her side of the story that exposes her along with her child.
"Who gave you my contact number? Don't you know that I am a journalist as well and I am not comfortable in being published, same for my child," said Lorraine.
"Can we meet face to face and talk about the issue, please?"she said.
