Mgazi seeks peace order
By Sharon Manjonjo
GOSPEL musician Jonathan Mgazi wants a divorce. He is accusing his wife of being violent and has won a peace order against her to prevent further violence.
The musician-cum-producer who had been married to his wife, Forget Kawinga for over four years has since filed for divorce at the Chitungwiza civil court.
Yesterday, the two appeared before Magistrate Elijah Makomo with Mgazi seeking a peace order, which was granted.
"Our marriage has irretrievably broken down," said Mgazi.
Mgazi alleged that he was seriously assaulted by Kawinga whom he has since served with divorce papers.
He said after that incident, he reported her to St Mary’s Police Station before kicking her out of their matrimonial home at house number 7 Vahera Street Zengeza 2 in Chitungwiza.
Mgazi further told the court that ever since then Kawinga had been sending him threatening messages on his mobile phone.
"After giving her divorce papers, she came and attempted to poison herself at my house. She has attempted to take poison on three other occasions," Mgazi alleged.
It is alleged that on June 18 this year she broke his computer keyboard, bass guitar and damaged the kitchen door, forcing him to go to the courts for a peace order.
He said he uses these instruments for recording music as he is now a music producer.
However, Ms Kawinga was denied entry into the court because of her "inappropriate" attire.
She said there was nothing wrong with her dressing.
"What’s wrong with my dressing, what’s wrong with it?" she fumed.
Mgazi started off his music career with Charles Charamba and the Fishers of Men, where he did both the vocals and played the piano.
He later left to pursue a solo career and in the process released two albums.
He has worked with several artists including Olinda Marowa, Thobekhile Nleya and Gugu Moyo as a producer.
