AN 18-year-old girl dragged her father to the Harare Civil Court seeking a protection order against him alleging abuse.
Zvikomborero Mukumbi told the court that her father, Cuthbert Mukumbi, insults and assaults her for no reason.
“He is my father, but he always assaults me for no reason.
“He chases me from home, and always enters my room without my consent,” said Zvikomborero.
Mukumbi said that he only reprimanded his daughter for going out in the evening.
“She is naughty and does not even regard me as her father.
“She goes out in the evening and leaves dishes unwashed in the house,” said Mukumbi.
Magistrate Tamari Chibindi dismissed Zvikomborero’s application and advised the two to mend their relationship.
