A MAN has been battling to deal with his three marriages, including one with a woman who is based in Canada, whom he fooled to believe that he was single at the time of their marriage.
Mudavanhu Sanyika’s love triangle came to light recently.
Sanyika paid lobola for Magdalene Sharara in 2022.
What Magdalene did not know was that Sanyika was already married to Divine Furusa.
They were married at the Harare Magistrates’ Court on March 16, 2018.
The wedding was solemnised at the Church of Christ in Avondale.
On September 9, 2022, Sanyika wedded Magdalene.
He gave the impression that he was a bachelor. Divine later knew about the second marriage and sued Sanyika for bigamy.
The case was heard at the High Court in Harare. According to the records in our possession, Sanyika was summoned on June 12, last year, to face bigamy charges.
“Records at the Marriage Registry seem to indicate that Sanyika Mudavanhu contracted a second marriage while the first marriage still subsisted.
“In view of the above please report to the Marriage Registry,” read the documents.
Sanyika decided to divorce Divine and stayed with Magdalene.
Then, he married a third woman.
Contacted for comment, Sanyika was not responding to questions put to him. Magdalene said:
“I am not in a position to comment, I am a victim here.” Sources told H-Metro Magdalene was looking for Sanyika.
“Magdalene stays in Canada and they were in the process of finalising Sanyika’s papers so that he would follow her there.
“But, he disappeared from their home to stay with another woman, with whom he has a two-year-old child.
“Magdalene came to Zimbabwe in August 2022 and that was the time Sanyika’s first wife, Divine, found out about their relationship.
“Since they had a wedding, she filed for bigamy at the High Court.
“She argued that he had wedded while he had another wedding which was subsisting,” said a source.
The source added:
“So, the High Court case nullified Sanyika’s wedding with Magdalene, since they got married while another marriage subsisted.
“Interestingly, Magdalene paid for all the legal costs.
“Magdalene went back to Canada, where she was processing his papers, but she later realised that Sanyika had disappeared from their home and he was now staying with another woman, identified as Melinda, and they have a child together.”
The source said Magdalene and Sanyika have known each for over seven years.
“These two have been seeing each other for over seven years.
“They started knowing each other from their days in primary school. “Sanyika paid the lobola around 2021.
“Magdalene is suspecting that he is staying with Melinda. “She was hoodwinked to believe that he was a bachelor and they had their wedding in Avondale.
“Had they wedded in court, it could have been exposed quickly but he made her believe that the wedding be done at home.”
