A Zimbabwean man’s birthday turned into a nightmare after he discovered used condoms under his bed, sparking a confrontation that led to his wife hiring bouncers to assault him and throw him out of their home.
Kenias Zimbwa told the Harare Civil Court that his wife, Chipiwa Taruona, enlisted two men—including her soldier brother—to beat him, leaving him bruised before forcing him out of the house naked. He also alleged that she had been depriving him of his marital rights while engaging in extramarital affairs.
Chipiwa admitted to hiring the men but claimed it was retaliation for years of alleged abuse by Zimbwa. The court ruled in her favor, granting her a protection order and advising Zimbwa to file his own complaint if he felt threatened.
