There was drama in Chitungwiza on Monday morning when a married man was
caught with a lover after taking advantage of his wife’s one night
absence.
Leonard Gandari’s wife had gone to Banket where she was attending a
funeral and Leonard deemed that as a golden opportunity to ‘import’ a
‘prostitute’ into their matrimonial house in Zengeza 4, Harare, in the
presence of his wife’s siblings.
The lover was identified as Memory Mupindu (25) and she was stripped
by angry neighbours after the couple overslept and Leonard was late to
‘deport’ his catch before co-tenants and his wife’s siblings had woken
up.
Memory refused to be labeled a prostitute arguing that she had been
made to believe that Leonard was single hence she slept comfortably up
to the time when neighbours were sweeping their yards.
“I’m not a prostitute but we were in love. We met two weeks ago and
he told me that he was not married and he stays with his sisters. We
came together yesterday night without any idea that things will generate
into such chaos. I am in form four at herentals college in
Chitungwiza,” said the woman as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Leonard could not give his side of the story as he fled. Neighbours
saw Memory trying to scale over the pre-cast wall in a bid to escape
after realising that she had overslept. She was however, unlucky and was
thoroughly beaten up and stripped.
“It is the wife’s young sister who smelt a rat and woke up and Memory
sensed danger and tried to escape but in vain,” narrated one of the
neighbours.
Angry residents went on to call Leonard’s wife identified as Mirriam
Chinduta who arrived at the scene and found the scene still ‘fresh’. The
wife broke into the house to find the alleged prostitute on her sofas.
Residents were bitter that Leonard abuses his wife by regularly
assaulting her which he confirmed by again assaulting her after she
confronted him over the issue. Mirriam reportedly sought refuge at a
nearby house in fear of being attacked.
The seemingly too violent Leonard tried to attack the news crew but shied away from the lenses.
Fearing the mob, largely made up of the fairer sex, Leonard locked
himself in the house, leaving his mistress to face the music. A close
source said Leonard sneaked the O-Level student into the house around
9pm and at around 11pm, his wife’s sister and children heard voices in
the bedroom.
“We were seated in the house and at around 11pm we heard voices and
sent in his young child who told us that there was a lady on his bed.
We went in but we couldn’t find her because she was hiding. We woke
up at around 4am and sat in the dining room and he (Leonard) was just
milling around and he could not go to work, which made us suspicious and
we guarded the gate.
Later we heard our neighbour screaming that there was someone on the wall and we saw her and caught her,” revealed the mole.
