By Own Correspondent- A Chipinge man was hauled to court for scalding his wife with hot water during a fight after he brought home a second wife.

Chrispen Gondo (26) of Maumba village allegedly scalded his wife, Theopheras Tidziwani, with hot water after a scuffle broke out when he brought home another woman, Shalom Mugidho.

In mitigation, Gondo said that the incident was a mistake, citing that he was blocking the complainant from scalding Mugidho when the accident occurred.

Chipinge magistrate Joshua Nembaware presided over the case. Gondo was then warned, cautioned and discharged after Tidziwani tendered an affidavit withdrawing the case, saying she had pardoned him.-Newsday
