A HARARE man, who impregnated his neighbour’s wife, is now being accused of stalking and threatening the woman’s husband.
Leon Kamupopa was dragged to the Harare Civil Court by Kudzanai Mutemwa, the husband of his lover. He was also accused of hiring bouncers to attack Mutemwa.
Mutemwa told the court:
“He has been having an affair with my wife for some time now.
“When I confronted him about it, he became violent.
“He hired bouncers to attack me and I decided to take the matter to the chief’s court, however, he continues to attack me.”
Kamupopa denied the allegations.
“After our case was resolved by the chief, he has been sending messages demanding that I pay him US$150 for his wife’s abortion.
“He said I should pay the money within five days and, if I fail to do so, he would attack me.”
Mutemwa denied demanding compensation from Kamupopa. Presiding Magistrate Meenal Naratom granted Mutemwa a peace order.
“I will not tolerate any form of violence or intimidation in this matter,” the magistrate said.
“Both parties must respect the rule of law and resolve their differences peacefully.”
