GWERU magistrate Ms Florence Nago yesterday awarded a US$1 400 garnishee order to a local woman after she successfully sued her husband's mistress for flirting and siring two children with her spouse.
The order will result in the alleged mistress, Ms Florence Nhokodi (36), a teacher by profession, parting with US$200 a month that will be deducted from her salary through the Salary Service Bureau.
The garnishee orders that the deductions are with effect from the February 1, 1013.
"Take notice that you are hereby required to effect deductions from the above defendant (Florence Nhokodi)'s salary at the rate of US$200 per month with effect from 1st of February 2013 until the sum of US$1 411 is paid in full.
"May you remit the payment into Tarisiro Janet Mapfumo's account number FCA 205310008463, POSB Gweru branch," read part of the garnish court order addressed to Ms Nhokodi's paymaster, the SSB.
According to court papers, Mrs Mapfumo, of Mkoba Village 17, who is the plaintiff, had successfully sued Ms Nhokodi for flirting and siring two children with her husband, Mr Philip Mapfumo.
In an interview yesterday, the elated Mrs Mapfumo said the ruling against Ms Nhokodi would send a strong warning to those women, who go around flirting with married men.
She said she went to apply for a garnishee order after Ms Nhokodi failed to pay her US$200 monthly instalments they had agreed in the previous court ruling.
"I won the damages against Ms Nhokodi sometime in October last year through the courts. She only gave me US$600 and stopped. I then went and applied for a garnishee order," she said.
