Zimbabwean Vice President says wife tormenting him

Zimbabwe vice President, Kembo Campbell Mohadi has cried out for help over the torture he receives from his wife, Tambudzani Bhugadi Mohadi, (nee Muleya) saying fears for his life following an acrimonious fallout with his wife.

The VP accuses his ex wife of sending threatening messages on his mobile phone after he instituted divorce proceedings last year, reports iHarare.

After the respondent [Tambudzani] got served with copy of the divorce summons, the respondent has escalated her violent tendencies against my person [Mohadi] and even calling me on my mobile phone while insulting me and threatening to tarnish my image, which has the potential to damage my political endeavors in view of my political office and as a member of the government, Mohadi said in his founding affidavit filed under case number DV1797/18 in a matter set to be heard on Friday.

His estranged wife is said to have gone on a looting spree as she has now started selling the matrimonial property before the finalization of the divorce matter in order to defeat the ends of justice.

In a bid to save his life, Mohadi has since approached the Civil Court in Harare seeking a protection order against her.

I am a law-abiding citizen and given the increasing incidences of people who are killing their spouses for passion, I pray that this honorable court protects me against the threatened violence, he said.

I have approached this honorable court seeking an order for protection order against the respondent in terms of the Domestic Violence Act, more particularly, in that the respondent is a very abusive person and/or a person of a violent disposition such that I am now leaving in fear of my life.

The VP also stated that his wife has gone to the extend of turning his four children against him.
