Man impregnates wife and sister, dumps them and remarries

A Bed-hopping Harare man impregnated his wife and elder sister and later dumped them for another woman, a court heard. Willias Rukweza impregnated Patience Mabasa along with her sister (name not supplied) and dumped them to stay with a new wife in Highfield.

Rukweza was at the Harare Civil Court where he was brought by Patience who is seeking a protection order against him. She also accused Willias of neglecting his children. "This man is not fair, he impregnated my sister and dumped us," she said.

Patience asked the court to protect her from Wiilias accusing him of being violent towards her. She said Willias once pointed a gun at her when she paid him a visit at his place where he is currently staying with his new wife asking for money.

"Willias pointed a gun at me and threatened to shoot me if I continue to visit him. He is also visiting me and is verbally abusing me. I am living in constant fear," she said.

Responding to the allegations, Rukweza said he left the applicant after he suspected her of cheating on him. He however denied the allegations of physically or verbally abusing the applicant. Magistrate Milton Serima, who presided over the case, passed ruling in Mabasa's favour.
