A HARARE woman was granted a protection order against her former husband, who forcibly took their children from her.
Shylet Magweti applied for the protection order against her ex-husband, Steven Munzanza, citing verbal and emotional abuse.
“Your Worship, we no longer stay together and l don’t want him back.
“He beats me up regularly in front of our children and l can’t stand it anymore.
“I want him to stop following me everywhere I go and to stop coming to my place of residence.
“He took away my phone and US$65 after beating me up,” she said.
Munzanza begged for forgiveness.
He also begged her for reconciliation.
“All that she said is true, but l still love her and want us to reconcile.
“She left our place of residence long back, but l want her to come back home.
“I have become lonely, l need her to come back home and l promise not to abuse her again,” he said.
Magistrate Sharon Mashavire granted the protection order to Shylet.
Steven was ordered to pay back the $65 before Friday.
