How My Husband Forced Me To Sleep With Stranger For $3000 - Zimbabwean Woman Reveals

A Zimbabwean woman, Junior Phiri, has accused
her husband, Douglas Hazvinei Gondo, of forcing
her into prostitution to enable him raise funds for
his business. Phiri said her husband asked her to
have sex with a stranger so that he would claim
compensation in the sum of $3000.
“This man is saying that I am a prostitute yet he
is the one who pleaded with me to have s*x with
a certain man so that he would go and claim
money from him to start a business.
I am shocked that now he is saying I am a
prostitute. He has not been taking care of the
family. I am the one who has been doing
everything for the children. I used to be a cross
border trader but not anymore. In fact I have told
him a number of times that I am no longer
interested in the marriage but he keeps forcing
me to love him...”
Phiri went on to say that Douglas had dragged
her to the maintenance court as a way of
disgracing her after she had reported him to the
police for assault
“He brought me to court as a way of trying to
shame me but the truth of the matter is that I am
the one who takes care of the children. He does
not buy anything for anyone. Our eldest child is
now selling buckets in Mbare because their father
is failing to take care of his family. My children
have asked me to move out with them because
they see how worthless their father is,” said
Junior.
Meanwhile, Douglas has maintained that his wife
is a prostitute who was shameless enough to
justify her actions, saying she needed the money
for their children’s welfare:
“This woman who is my wife is a prostitute. She
has so many lovers and the evidence is in her
phone which I confiscated. “She uses her job as a
cover for her promiscuous behaviour. She once
lied that she was going out of the country for
work and she went to sleep with one of her
lovers. She says she has to fend for the children
and her parents so she has no other choice but to
be a prostitute. One of her lovers is a doctor. I
asked her to stop paying for the children’s school
fees or to do anything for them because I wanted
her to stop prostituting but now because she has
failed to listen to me I want her to maintain the
children and I.”
Douglas who hauled his wife to the maintenance
court in Zimbabwe, is claiming $150 for their
three children’s upkeep and $50 for his own
upkeep:
“I want her to take care of the children and I, and
I know that she can afford to do so because she
is a cross border trader who is also a hairdresser.
She earns $800 per month. She has no other
children and no other husband except for her
boyfriends only. I am a vendor and I get about
$100 a month. My wife is capable of paying the
said amount because she has the money,”
Douglas said.
Presiding magistrate Sharon Rakafa postponed
the matter to today for ruling.
