A 45-YEAR-OLD man from Plumtree was yesterday granted a protection order against his 31-year-old wife whom he accused of being abusive and threatening to get him killed. Lenford Malamba said his wife Nyenketa, attached to the Plumtree Town Council Accounts Department, was also having extra marital affairs.
He said Nyenketa was in the habit of inviting various men into their matrimonial home while he was away at work in Brunapeg area, Mangwe District. Malamba said whenever he confronted his wife over her habits, she would threaten to send people to kill him.
"I want my wife to leave our matrimonial house and I would like our child who is in Grade 6 right now to stay with me. My wife has been inviting different men to our house and she sleeps with them on our matrimonial bed that's why I want her out of the house.
"She is constantly making threats of death at me telling me that she will send some people to kill me. She's a violent woman and I'm afraid of what she can do to me that's why I need to be protected against her," he said.
Malamba said when he married Nyenketa, she was a Form 2 dropout and he sent her back to school. He said now that Nyenketa is studying at Solusi University, his wife despises him despite the fact that he caters for all her fees.
"Every semester I part with $1,500 which is directed towards her school fees but she's now seeing me as a useless old man. When I met her she was a maid who had only attended school up to Form 2. "Now she is attached at Plumtree Town Council accounts department all because of my efforts. The bulk of my salary has been going towards her education all this while," Malamba said.
Nyenketa is refusing to leave her matrimonial home arguing that she built it together with her husband. She also denied allegations of inviting other men into their matrimonial home. Plumtree magistrate Livard Philemon declined Malamba's request to have his wife evicted from their matrimonial home.
He, however, granted him permission to assume custody of their six-year-old child. Philemon also ordered Nyenketa to desist from making threats against her husband and to stay away from his Brunapeg house.
