A Harare woman has been barred from visiting her neighbour after the former accused her of harassment and assault.
Rodney Nhapi told Harare Civil Court Magistrate Ms Meenal Narotam that he fears for his safety and that of his children due to Tanyaradzwa Chigumbura’s actions.
“She came to my house, threw stones at my windows and hit my children. We had to look for another place to stay,” Nhapi said.
“This woman came to my house with six men and beat me up,” he said.
“She says I am promiscuous and claims that l influence her husband to spend nights away from home,” he said.
However, Chigumbura denied the accusations.
“He is the one who beats me up and I have scars on my wrists from the beatings,” she said.
“l even tried to get a peace order against him but he has been evading the police to avoid signing the documents and appearing in court,” Chigumbura said.
Ms Narotam granted the peace order in Nhapi’s favour and prohibited Chigumbura from visiting his residence.
