There was drama at Aerodrome in Bindura after two co‑wives fought over a pair of pants following the disappearance of their husband.


The matter came to light at the Bindura Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, where Precious Matangira (30) was convicted of assaulting her co‑wife, Ethel Mavhembu (23).

Matangira pleaded guilty and was fined US$150 by magistrate Seluleko Mathuthu. Failure to pay will result in 45 days’ imprisonment.

Prosecutor Sheila Kudzai told the court that on 22 February at around 10pm, Matangira went to Mavhembu’s house looking for their husband, Willard. Mavhembu told her he was not home and offered to take a message.

Matangira responded by saying Willard was also her husband “who removes her pants”, to which Mavhembu replied in similar fashion. An argument ensued, and Matangira slapped Mavhembu several times.

The complainant filed a police report, leading to Matangira’s arrest.
