Woman 'locks' ex-boyfriend

A Mutare man who dumped his girlfriend is having a rough time as he claims she bewitched him as he now struggles to be intimate with his new wife.

Joshua Musoso (22) said he is failing to sustain any erection whenever I want to sleep with my wife and he blames this to his ex-girlfriend, Nesta Shumba.

The parties appeared before Mutare magistrate, Mrs Yeukai Chigodora, with Sumha praying for a protection order against Musoso.

Sumha accused Musoso of failing to accept that it was over between them since they separated last month.

"Whenever he got drunk he would come to my place and break my door. He would assault me while shouting obscenities. All these are unprovoked attacks. I am fed up with his promiscuous behaviour and I no longer want to see him at my place of residence again," said Sumha. She also accused Musoso of forcibly taking her belongings to his house and promising to come back for more unless they continue with the relationship.

However, Musoso, who believed to have been rendered impotent by Sumha's juju, bared it all before Mrs Chigodora and said that he had accepted that their affair was over, but could not let go because she had bewitched him.

 "In as much as I may want to stay away from this woman, it is not that easy for me. My manhood is no longer functional on any other woman besides her. I am now failing to sustain any erection whenever I want to sleep with my wife. Its either she reverses what she did on me or stay with me because I am also a human being and I need to enjoy my conjugal rights with my wife quite often," said Musoso.

The court, however, granted Sumha the protection order and Musoso was barred from assaulting and insulting her.

He was ordered never to visit her place of residence again.
