A South African based woman returned home to find her
husband staying with another woman. She was locked out and had to seek accommodation
with neighbours.
Margarine Mabhena has been married to Party Ngulube for 33
years. But she has now gone to court.
“I am legally married to Ngulube and I work in South
Africa. I was shocked when I found him staying with another woman at our
matrimonial home. I moved to South Africa in 2016 after he had threatened to
kill me. We have a 19-year-old son who is mentally disturbed so I have been
failing to visit him because of our son’s condition which has been serious as
he was in the habit of burning himself.
“In 2017 I discovered that he had a girlfriend and when I
phoned the woman, she told me to leave her alone as she was also proposed by my
husband.
“When I got to my house, I found the woman there. Fearing for the worst I immediately left for
the police to seek help. The following day, my husband came to the station and
promised to chase her but he never did. I’m now staying with neighbours because
the gate is always locked,” she said.
Ngulube did not dispute the allegations, but claimed he
asked his girlfriend to move in because he wanted his wife to become jealous
and return.
“The problem is that my wife wants to work in South Africa
and I asked my girlfriend to come and stay with me so she would panic and
return. “In 2016 when I visited her, I found condoms in her house and never
returned again. Let me not waste the court’s time, the truth is that I love my
wife and would want her to come back home. She should go back to South Africa
and collect my son. That is all,” said Ngulube.
An interim order was granted and the couple was advised to
keep peace towards each other. b metro
