A Zimbabwean man identified as Mugwagwa Gumunyu has been fined after his girlfriend Eunice Hunda dragged him to customary court for making false marriage promises to her.
Eunice who dragged Gumunyu to
Chief Nheweyembwa in Murehwa, demanded that he compensate her after he falsely
promised to marry her.
It was gathered that Eunice is
a security guard at a local shipping logistical company where Mugwagwa is a
manager. The two hooked up at work and got into a relationship, even though
Mugwagwa had a wife.
When Mugwagwa courted Eunice,
he lied to her that he was single and had divorced his wife. Their relationship
blossomed for years, so much so that Eunice gave Mugwagwa over US$2000 during
the course of their relationship.
One day, Eunice heard from two
female workmates that Mugwagwa had also promised to marry them and reneged. The
two other women even confronted the manager.
After figuring out that her
relationship with Mugwagwa was a ruse, Eunice took the matter to Chief
Nheweyembwa. When he appeared before the Chief, Mugwagwa probed why he was
appearing in Murehwa when he came from Masvingo.
The Chief was offended by this
and charged Mugwagwa with contempt of court. Afterwards, Chief Nheweyembwa
fined Mugwagwa US$500 for promising to marry Eunice and not fulfilling it.
