Man burns wife's undies

THERE could be chances that Sithabiso Tshabangu has at some point gone "commando" without underwear, that's if her husband's habit of burning her undies every time they fight is to be taken seriously.

"He burns my underwear and I feel my life is in danger because his behaviour disturbs my peace," she said about her husband of eight years Lovemore Marange.

Tshabangu was speaking before Bulawayo magistrate Tancy Dube where she was seeking a protection order.

She added that he burns her stuff and tells her that he is the one who bought it in the first place.

In response to allegations levelled against him, Marange dismissed that Tshabangu was his wife saying she was just a live-in girlfriend.

"This woman is just my live-in girlfriend and I do not want to be with her. She got me arrested last week and has been threatening to fix me," he said.

Tshabangu was red-carded in court and she accepted the move saying she also had enough of the man.

The presiding magistrate Tancy Dube advised the two parties to first go and solve their accommodation problem since they had made it clear that they no longer wanted to be together.

After discussing the issue, they then told the court that they had parted ways and the woman had moved out of Marange's place.
