A Valentines Day gift led to a violent altercation in Harare after a man, Tinashe Chiyangwa, physically assaulted his mother-in-law, Elita Mpofu, accusing her of promoting infidelity. The incident, which took place on February 14, has since escalated into a legal battle, with Elita seeking justice at the Harare Civil Court. According to Elita, the confrontation began when Tinashe arrived at her home in a fit of rage, yelling and accusing his wife of infidelity after she received a gift from another man. She explained that when she tried to intervene and calm the situation, Tinashe became even more aggressive. He pushed me to the ground and started assaulting me. He accused me of encouraging my daughter to engage in promiscuous behaviour. Despite my daughters attempts to explain that the gift was merely a friendly gesture, he refused to listen. Elita sustained a leg injury from the attack and has been left traumatized. Seeking legal recourse, she took the matter to court. When allowed to respond, Tinashe admitted to losing his temper but defended his actions, claiming frustration over the situation. I was angry because my mother-in-law allowed another man to give my wife a romantic gift on Valentines Day. She knows that I paid lobola (bride price) for her daughter, yet she permits other men to approach her. While he acknowledged that his actions were wrong, Tinashe emphasized that his anger stemmed from a sense of betrayal and disrespect. I know what I did was wrong. I failed to control my emotions. Presiding over the case, Magistrate Meenal Naratom condemned Tinashes actions, stressing the importance of maintaining peace within families. Violence is never the answer, regardless of the circumstances. Your actions were unjustifiable and have caused harm to your mother-in-law. The magistrate granted Elita a peace order, legally prohibiting Tinashe from harassing or approaching her.
