Police
confirmed the case which happened last Wednesday. The assailant,
Shamiso Marovero has since been fined $10 for indecently assaulting
Portia Madhuku who was only left with torn undergarments after the
melee.
When
the source news crew visited the scene, a sobbing Madhuku was at loss
of words to explain the beatings she encountered at the hands of
Marovero and eight others.
"They were nine of them and they approached me when I was selling my clothes. They beat me up, strípped me nakéd and left me with tattered under garments," she said.
When
asked if she had indeed snatched Marovero's husband and was sleeping
with him, Madhuku denied ever bedding him. She said her relationship to
Marovero's husband was a business one with no strings attached.
"I
am not in love with her husband. I only came to know him when he sold
some jackets to me on credit. I bought two jackets and paid for them and
I never saw him again.
However,
Marovero, was singing from a different hymn book. She accused Madhuku
of being in love with the father of her children saying the affair began
in June this year.
"I
discovered the affair in June but I kept quiet. I couldn't confront her
because I did not have enough evidence. However, the truth came out
when one of her best friends told me everything. I confronted her hence
the fracas," she said.
Marovero, however, refused ever beating Madhuku saying she only strípped nakéd
"I did not beat her, why should I?"she boasted Madhuku pleaded with The
Weekender not to publish the story saying it would break her fragile
relationship with her husband, which she is trying to sort out.
"Please
I don't want you to publish the story because it will badly affect my
relationship with my husband, which is on the rocks," she said.
Manicaland spokes person Inspector Enock Chishiri said Marovero and two
of her accomplices who partook in strípping
Madhuku have since paid $10 admission of guilty fines. He urged members
of the public to desist using violent means to settle scores.
