Sithabile Ndlovu from Gwanda applied for a peace order against Rethabile Patana who is her neighbour after she allegedly insulted and threatened to kill her for allegedly having an affair with her husband Reason Moyo.
Speaking in court, Ndlovu denied she was having an affair with Patana’s husband. Said Ndlovu:
Patana is my neighbour and she is married to Mr Reason Moyo. She is alleging that I’m having an affair with her husband which is false as I only know him as a neighbour. She started making these allegations in October and since then she has been harassing me. She is constantly insulting me in public, threatening to assault and kill me. I pray that the court may order her to desist from harassing me or coming to my house as I have done nothing wrong.
In response, Patana said she did not object to the peace order being granted but denied insulting or threatening Ndlovu. She said she just approached Ndlovu and told her to end the affair she was having with her husband. Presiding over the matter, Gwanda magistrate Mr Obedience Matare issued a peace order that is binding to both Patana and Ms Ndlovu.
