“He is lazy and does one round and a short one for that matter then he sleeps”
Those were the words of a 25-year-old woman addressimg a divorce court in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The woman, Sinqobile Sibanda, also told the court that her 29-year-old husband, abuses her physically everytime they had a dispute.
iHarare quoted her as saying: “Your worship, this man has sexually abused me for a long time. He has big genitals which would make one assume it works to expectations but it’s useless.”
Her husband, Thando Sengwayo, admitted that he abuses his wife but promised to change. He blamed his job, which he described as “strenuous and physically demanding.”
“I promise this court that I will refrain from being abusive and try to be a good husband,” he said.
Magistrate Ndumo Masuku ordered Sengwayo not to physically and sexually abuse his wife again. And he granted Sibanda a protection order.
