A DRAMATIC love triangle exploded in Harare as two co-workers faced off in court − after one accused the other of stealing her husband in a bitter battle filled with midnight texts, violent attacks, and a raging showdown at work.
Patience Matemera ran to the Harare Civil Court, begging for a peace order against her colleague Shingai Ndawana, who she claims has turned her life into a real-life telenovela.
“She barges into my home uninvited, screaming that I’m sleeping with her husband,” Patience told the court. “She even told my landlord I’m a ‘husband-snatcher’ and trashes me at work!”
But the drama didn’t stop there − Shingai allegedly attacked her twice, leaving Patience terrified for her safety.
Shingai, however, fired back, claiming Patience is no innocent victim − but a homewrecker who’s been sneaking around with her hubby!
“She texts him late at night! She’s the reason he comes home late!” Shingai raged in court. “I have evidence they’ve been intimate − she’s trying to steal my marriage!”
Magistrate Meenal Naratom had heard enough − granting Patience a peace order to keep Shingai from harassing, threatening, or intimidating her.
