A woman from Cowdray Park suburb in Bulawayo yesterday appeared in court facing an assault charge after she beat up her husband’s lover at her workplace.
Sithandazile Dungeni, 36, pleaded guilty to assaulting Lethukuthula Mpofu.
On April 29, 2016, Dungeni went to Mpofu’s workplace in the Bulawayo Central Business District and asked to speak to her.
During the discussion Dungeni accused Mpofu of having a love affair with her husband. Mpofu denied the allegations and this infuriated Dungeni who assaulted the complainant with bare hands all over the body several times.
The complainant fell down and was rescued by colleagues from further assault. She sustained some injuries and a medical report was obtained.
In mitigation, Dungeni apologised to the court for her actions. She also said she was a mother of two minor children.
Dungeni was fined $50, failure to do so will attract a jail term of 15 days.
