A man who contested in the 2018 elections as an independent candidate in Kadoma caused a rift with his wife after dressing up his brother as a woman and bringing him into their bedroom. 

Zivanayi Mavesere claimed that he did this to provoke his wife after she denied him conjugal rights for an extended period. 

After leaving the bedroom with his brother in tow, Zivanayi’s wife, Linnet, saw him and believed that he had been with his former girlfriend, Claris.

However, Zivanayi defended himself by stating that he was hoping to teach his wife a lesson by having her think he was cheating on her. 

While Linnet confirmed the incident occurred, she pleaded with H-Metro not to publish the story, claiming that her husband had already shamed her.

“Ndaita drama chairo nhasi nekuti mudzimai wangu akasarudza kunorara ku bedroom yemwanasikana achida kundikaurisa saka ndamukaurisawo,” Zivanayi told H-Metro.

“Ndakapfekedza mupfana wangu wigi ne dress kuti aite semukadzi ndikapinda naye mu bedroom.

“My wife heard footsteps that indicated that two people had entered the bedroom. She opened the door and I rushed my young brother into the vehicle and left.

“She was quick to suspect that it was Claris my former girlfriend. She has been denying me my conjugal rights, but has been keeping watch on what was taking place in a bedroom she does not want to be in,” he said.

Linnet pleaded with H-Metro not to publish the story.

“Do not humiliate me more by publishing this story because my husband has already shamed me by taking another woman into my matrimonial bedroom,” said Linnet.

“Yes, some men cheat, but they are not foolish to take their lovers into their wives’ bedroom sheets.

“Zivanayi failed to respect his own body, my body, his children and his social standing in society.

“I had a misunderstanding with him for the past two days and I left my bedroom out of anger. Zivanayi engaged police in an effort to take my earthmoving vehicle. 

“It affected me a lot and I was trying to avoid domestic violence since we have grown up children, but his actions have left me with chills,” said Linnet.
