A 50-year-old man from Cowdray Park, Bulawayo was recently fined ZWL$24 000 by a magistrate for assaulting his wife, accusing her of infidelity and denying him sex.
Evans Farai Chitanda (50), who is employed as a general hand at Dominican Convent School, appeared before magistrate Shepherd Mjanja on Tuesday, facing one count of domestic violence.
Mnjanja warned Chitanda to desist from the conduct of violence in future and fined Chitando ZWL$24 000.
Prosecuting, Tafara Dzimbanete said on 11 September, Chitanda arrived home from work and began accusing his wife, Mary Chikumba (44) of infidelity.
Dzimbanhete assaulted Chikumba once with a fist on the cheek while further accusing her of denying him his conjugal rights.
The complainant sustained no physical injuries and hence she did not seek any medical attention. | The Sunday News
