Own Correspondent|Bwana Tambula, a supervisor with a large platinum mining company in Shurugwi has complained to a magistrate that he was thoroughly bashed by his wife’s boyfriend when he found the two walking together in town.

Tambula said this during a maintenance case brought up against him by his wife Primrose Mpofu on Thursday last week.

Tambula told Shurugwi Resident Magistrate Sangster Tavengwa that he did not understand how Mpofu runs her flea market at Patels Indoor in Shurugwi because she is always asking for capital.

He told the court that he was now considering divorce.

Bwana was ordered to pay $150 maintenance for his wife and child, until the child is 18 or is able to support himself/herself.
