Ex-lover torments married man

A Bulawayo man terrorised by his bullying ex-lover told of his fury at the Bulawayo Civil Court.

Oscar Moyo from Cowdray Park said for sometime his ex-lover Patience Zondo from the same suburb had been persuading him to come back to her, but he refused to budge.

So, with jealousy burning her heart, Zondo resorted to frustrating him by going to his home to torment his family as punishment for refusing to come back to her.

An emotionally disturbed Moyo said whenever Zondo goes to his home during his absence he harasses his wife and children before ransacking the house and robbing them of groceries.

To stop his ex-mistress from getting away with it, Moyo decided to apply for a protection order.

"I was in a relationship with Patience Zondo but we have since separated. Following our separation she turned violent and she's now in the habit of coming to my home to harass my family.

"On 17 January she came to my house and forcibly took some groceries and blankets. Before she left, she insulted my wife. As a result of that my wife and children are living in fear," said Moyo before he begged the magistrate to grant him the restraining order.

Zondo didn't come to court and the presiding magistrate granted an order which bars her from harassing her ex-lover or go to his home to disturb his peace and that of his family.
