A Bulawayo woman attempted to stop a weeding of her former boyfriend with his newly found lover by saying her ex-lover could be HIV positive.
Sanele Mabhena made an application to object to the wedding between Trust Boka and Nobukhosi Moyo.
Mabhena said that although she was neither customarily nor legally married to Boka the two had been staying together as husband and wife and had two children together.
“We lost our youngest child two years ago and he hasn’t finished paying for the medical expenses we incurred from the birth to the death of the child. Doctors said the child was exposed to HIV. Boka and his family chased me from their house after the death of my baby,” said Mabhena.
“We’ve a five-year-old child who doesn’t have a birth certificate. The child has since dropped out of school because of school fees arrears for two terms. He is also in arrears of the child’s maintenance.”
Mabhena, walking with the aid of crutches, said she became paralysed when she fell ill and Boka “asked his friend to inject her” with an unknown substance.
She said doctors discovered she was HIV positive as they attended to her. Responding, Boka said he was not HIV positive. He said he had tested negative eight times.
He told the court he had ended his cohabitation with Mabhena because she was always lying to him.
The application was dismissed with the magistrate saying the allegations had no merit.
Boka and Moyo were wedded after the allegation dismissal.
