A hairdresser at Pretty Woman Saloon in Gweru was bashed by her husband after she had ignored her cell phone that was ringing during the night. The wife basher, Mandla Maphosa (29) of Plot C11 Harben Park and an employee of Falcon Gold Mine in Shurugwi, appeared before Gweru magistrate Vimbai Makora facing charges of domestic violence.

Representing the S tate, Gracious Rongai told the court that sometime on 19 January, Sehlulekile Rutambi’s phone rang and she ignored it which led to Maphosa asking why she was not picking it up.

This resulted in a misunderstanding and Maphosa took a shoe and hit Rutambi on the head.
On a different count, on February 11 around 2200hrs, Rutambi saw a message from her hubby’s mistress who was inviting Maphosa to see her on Valentine’s Day.

Rutambi then asked her husband why he was having an extra marital affair and a misunderstanding arose. Maphosa then assaulted his wife on the chest and left eye several times using clenched fists.

Maphosa was slapped with four months imprisonment with two months suspended on condition that he does not commit a similar crime in the next five years.
