A Kadoma woman is crying foul after her husband of seven years dumped her for a cook at the school where he is the principal.

Tambudzai confronted the two, while they had gone out, at a place called Laluna.
To counter that, Bere filed a protection order against her at the Kadoma Civil Court under case number P0 116/23.
She initially pressed assault charges before she withdrew them and opted for a protection order.

“We have been together for seven years and only for him to dump me now.
“I helped him a lot, we were doing our business, helping each other but only to wake up to see him with another woman.
