A 45-year-old man insults his mother whenever he is under the influence of drugs, the Harare Civil Court heard yesterday.

Spiwe Nyamayedenga was granted a protection order against her son, Edwin Nyamayedenga, 45, whom she accused of constantly disturbing her peace.

“He insults me whenever he is drunk and doesn’t even consider that I am his mother.

“I have no rest because of his behaviour.

“As a mother, it is painful to raise a son only for him to insult you in return.

“Worse still he is not working and I am the one looking after him,” she said.

Edwin did not oppose the application.

“I act in such a manner because of frustration.

“I usually get drunk due to stress and only insult her when I am drunk.

“I am staying with her because I lost my job and once I get another job I will move out,” he said.

Magistrate Tamara Chibindi granted the application by consent and ordered Edwin not to insult or harass his mother and to maintain peace with her.
