A man, Never Mahachi, has been left heartbroken after his 43-year-old wife ran away and eloped with a man whom she had allegedly been cheating with for some time in Zimbabwe.

Tevedzerai Ziona took her 12-year-old daughter with her, claiming her husband was not doing enough to take care of the family.

Sources said the signs had been there as the marriage had been on the rocks for a while.

“She first ran away in December last year and Never was told that his wife was now staying with her newfound love in Marondera. He tried calling her to ask her to bring back the child but she ignored his calls. It took her sister to convince her to come back home on 16 March.

“Her boyfriend, however, followed her on 20 March and convinced her yet again to go with him and she complied. Never was away at work so the boyfriend took her away and they are back together in Marondera,” said the source

Mahachi confirmed the incident to TellZim and said he was disappointed she had chosen to leave home yet again.

“I am very upset. If she no longer loved me, she was supposed to go alone and leave the child behind. 

I don’t want my child to grow up in another man’s house so I am planning to sue them,” said Mahachi.
