The mayoress suspected the girl of having an affair with her husband. Gwari, who
is wife to Gweru Mayor, Councillor Tedious Chimombe, is alleged to have summoned
a 21-year-old woman (name supplied) from Mkoba 1 to her house in the same
neighbourhood and assaulted her alleging that she had evidence that the young
lady was having an affair with her husband.
The victim, who narrated her story to Sunday News during the course of the week,
said she was still confused about the allegations levelled against her.
“We consider her as our mother, just as her husband is considered the city
father so when she called me to her house, I went without suspicion and when I
got there I found her outside the house and she told me to wait for her in the
lounge.
After a few minutes she came into the lounge and locked all the doors before she
pounced on me shouting that l was having a relationship with her husband.
It was not until I fought back that she let go of me. I’m going to sue her and
her informers for defamation of character which is why I have reported the case
to the police,’’ said the victim.
Efforts to get a comment from the accused were fruitless but the husband Clr
Chimombe said he was not aware of the incident. “Shamiso is my wife and I am
not aware of what you are talking about.
If anything like that happened I have not been told about it. Besides I am not
involved in any extra-marital affairs,’’ said Clr Chimombe. Acting Midlands
Provincial Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the
incident
