Evelyne Padya is fighting Thubelihle Kazenga over their man, businessman,
Raycon Masanjala, who owns furniture shops in Bulawayo city centre.
“I am married to the same husband with Thubelihle Kazenga.
She beats me up and this affects me since
I am pregnant. She also stalks me at my workplace. I want her barred from harassing me and coming to my
workplace.”
Kazenga said Padya misled the court by
claiming that they were married to the same man.

Kazenga said her suspicions that Padya was having an affair
with her husband turned out to be true when she discovered that they had a
three-year-old child together and that she was also expecting a second child.
On the day she claimed I attacked her what happened is that
on my way to Morningside I saw my husband’s car parked at her workplace and
when I went to see why he was there I found them together. When I questioned
them what was going on since I had already heard rumours that they were having
an affair, my husband tried to run away from the scene but I stopped him.
“He later confessed saying she (Padya) was just his girlfriend and he needed some
time to break-up with her since she was pregnant. I didn’t assault her and as a
nurse I could not beat a pregnant woman,” she said.
When Padya was asked by the presiding magistrate Sheunesu
Matova whether she was married to Masanjala, she said: “He is yet to pay
lobola. He intended to do so last year in December but it was postponed to
another date in January but he couldn’t do so because my sister lost her
husband.”
The magistrate, in a bid to maintain peace between the two
parties, ordered Kazenga not to go to Padya’s workplace and that the two
parties should not conduct themselves in a violent manner towards one another
or insult each other.
