A HARARE woman claims her husband no longer touches her in bed because he says he gets images of goblins telling him not to touch any part of her body.
Maonei Magaso says her husband, Crispen Musavengana, has been accusing her of being a witch and has been bombarding her with a storm of verbal abuse.
She also claimed he has been disposing of some of their property, including three cars, without her consent after he started an extramarital affair.
“He does not touch me in bed because he says he dreams of my ‘goblins’ telling him not to touch me and he wakes up with his ears blocked,’’ Magaso told the Harare Civil Court. He has sold our three cars and spent the money on his girlfriend but the agreement was that we were going to sell the cars and renovate our home,’’ she said.
“His girlfriend talked him into selling our house and now he constantly tells me to go stay in the rural areas.’’
Magaso pleaded with the court to grant her a protection order against her husband.
Musavengana, in his defence, denied the allegations.
“I have asked her to go with me to my prophet so that we inquire as to why I have such dreams but she refused so at the end I just blame her for those dreams but l never called her a witch,” he said.
“She went to South Africa, returned with her sister’s children and now they are under our care and she made this decision without my knowledge.
“Every time I inquire about how long they are going to stay with us, she responds by saying I am troubling her.
“She is in the habit of mocking me with her friends saying that I do not deserve her and I am worthless.
“I do not wish for us to fight hence I intend to maintain peace and I will not sell our house because I am not cruel.”
Magistrate granted Magaso a protection order.
