A Harare man is in the habit of walking around the house naked in front of his two daughters whenever his wife is away, the Civil Court heard last Thursday.

His wife, Evelyn Mukwaira claimed Tongai Matsika was threatening to cut off her breasts and set her ablaze. Mukwaira was seeking a protection order against Matsika whom she was accusing of breaching her peace.

“My 15-year-old daughter reported to my mother that their father was in the habit of walking in the house naked whenever I am away,” she said.

Mukwaira told magistrate Mr Trevor Nyatsanza that Matsika recently chased her out of their matrimonial home to pave way for his girlfriend.

“I am now living in fear because he is now in the habit of coming to my new place of residence threatening to kill me and cut off my breasts. He also physically and verbally abuses me in front of our daughters,” said Mukwaira.

Mukwaira told the court that she was ready to bring their 15-year-old daughter to testify.

Matsika denied the allegations.

“I never walked naked in the house as she is alleging. She is just looking for ways to please this honourable court to grant her application,” he said.

Mr Nyatsanza ordered Mukwaira to bring the 15-year-old daughter to testify.
