A wife stormed a court in Bulawayo as her husband was about to exchange wedding wows with his small house.
B Metro reports that Mandlenkosi Mabhena’s (45) and his secret lover, Maluleka Solani from Ntabazinduna, were standing before Bulawayo magistrate Makelo Ncube, when his wife, burst in.
“I object to this marriage. Mabhena and I are customarily married. He fulfilled the lobola obligations in 2012. To marry another woman, he must first formally dissolve our customary union through a divorce process, including the payment of a divorce token. Additionally, we need to address the issue of our children’s paternity. We live together and when schools are open he will be away and he returns home when schools are closed. He left this morning claiming to attend a meeting,” she said.
Mabhena said: “I object to what she says. We have differences in our marriage. She is lying and when I left in the morning, I never said I was attending a meeting.”

Solani said: “Your Worship, I don’t know what to say. I only know that he (Mabhena) has a child with Ncube. I’m worried that proper divorce hasn’t been finalized, indicated by the lack of a divorce token being issued.”
The magistrate said there would be no wedding today, telling the parties to first resolve their issues.
