B Metro reports that Mandlenkosi Mabhena’s (45) and his secret
lover, Maluleka Solani from Ntabazinduna, were standing before Bulawayo
magistrate Makelo Ncube, when his wife, burst in.
“I object to this marriage. Mabhena and I are customarily
married. He fulfilled the lobola obligations in 2012. To marry another woman,
he must first formally dissolve our customary union through a divorce process,
including the payment of a divorce token. Additionally, we need to address the
issue of our children’s paternity. We live together and when schools are open
he will be away and he returns home when schools are closed. He left this
morning claiming to attend a meeting,” she said.
Mabhena said: “I object to what she says. We have
differences in our marriage. She is
lying and when I left in the morning, I never said I was attending a meeting.”
Solani said: “Your Worship, I don’t know what to say. I
only know that he (Mabhena) has a child with Ncube. I’m worried that proper
divorce hasn’t been finalised, indicated by the lack of a divorce token being
issued.”
The magistrate said there would be no wedding today,
telling the parties to first resolve their issues.
