A JAMBEZI woman learnt the hard way that it’s not always easy to be promoted from a small house to the “main house” when she was baptised with hot porridge by her boyfriend’s wife.Sazini Ncube (21), is lucky to have escaped with burns only to her arms, leg and back and not her face after her bid to elope with her Kamativi boyfriend hit a brick wall. However, for using unorthodox methods to protect her marriage, Hazel Nyoni was dragged before provincial magistrate Ms Portia Mhlanga facing a charge of assault.
Nyoni (31) of B612 Compound 1 Kamativi, told the court that she had behaved in that manner in an effort to protect her household after her husband had advised her that he was bringing in a second wife.
“Your worship, the way things happened with my husband suddenly telling me that the woman who had just arrived in our home was going to be his second wife, I felt disrespected by the complainant who kept insisting that she was not leaving even after my husband asked her to,” she said.
The court heard that on 23 April at around 8pm, Ncube left Jambezi for Kamativi to her boyfriend with the intention of getting married. However, upon her arrival, Nyoni and her husband started quarrelling over her presence and intention.
Angered by Ncube’s continued defiance, Nyoni ran to the kitchen hut where she got hold of a pot full of hot porridge before charging and pouring it over her rival’s body leaving her nursing burns on both arms, her right leg and back.
Ncube fled for her life and made a report to the police, leading to Nyoni’s arrest.
