A BULAWAYO polygamist bit his second wifea��s cheek because she was a�?outrighta�? lazy.
Philip Muradzikwa (56) on arrival at the couplea��s flat from visiting his first wife was in a no-nonsense mood. He complained about his young wife Sibusisiwe Mpofu (32)a��s habit of not spreading the bed comparing her to the a�?biga�? house where the bed was neatly prepared.
Mpofu didna��t like the way Muradzikwa was talking and she spoke back and a harsh exchange of words ensued.
Mpofu told him that he was not man enough and he responded with a cheek bite. She reported the matter to the police, leading to his arrest.
Appearing before magistrate Tinashe Tashaya, Muradzikwa said he was tired of Mpofua��s laziness and decided to address the issue but his wife took his comment as an insult.
a�?Your worship, I was only trying to correct her but she got angry and we ended up fighting,a�? said Muradzikwa.
He pleaded guilty and told the court that he acted out of anger as his wife had insulted him about his manhood and also grabbed his private parts.
a�?She told me Ia��m not man enough and grabbed my private parts, I couldna��t bear the pain and the only way I could make her stop was to bite her on the cheek,a�? he added.
Mpofu was remanded out of custody to 09 January 2016.
