Nataly Madziwa (19) from Bulawayo has approached the Bulawayo magistrates court suing her married ex-boyfriend, Joel Moyo (32), for $8 000 for allegedly breaking her virginity and later breaking up with her after having previously promised to marry her. She alleges that Moyo broke her virginity after he lied that he was a bachelor.
Through her lawyers, Dube-Tachiona and Tsvangirai Legal Practitioners, Madziwa said she felt embarrassed and humiliated after Moyo allegedly broke her virginity and impregnated her before breaching the promise to marry her. She also says that by deflowering and impregnating her, Moyo has reduced her chances of getting married.
In his defence, Moyo said Madziwa was not a virgin when they engaged in sex and he also doubts the paternity of the child and questioned the reason behind Madziwa’s delay to inform him of the pregnancy. Magistrate Mr Sheunesu Matova, who presided over the matter, is expected to deliver judgment on December 15.
