A Bulawayo magistrate lashed out at a police officer who allegedly beat up his wife with a duty belt.
Taonga Hungotida courted the anger of Bulawayo magistrate Tinashe Tashaya who was sitting at the civil court when his wife Sinothando Mpunzi said he once beat her up with his duty belt at the height of a domestic dispute.
a�?Is that what you were given that belt for? As a police officer do you think other women are safe if they are to come and make a report to you in the event that they have been assaulted by their husbands? We dona��t expect that uncouth behaviour from someone like you who is a police officer,a�? charged the magistrate.
Hungotidaa��s woes worsened when his wife later narrated how she was being abused.
