A  married woman who had been taking advantage of her husband’s absence to have multiple illicit affairs with other men was busted red-handed with romantic text messages after her husband went through her phone during the 21-day nationwide lockdown.

This comes barely a week after government-enforced a stay at home lockdown aimed at containing the coronavirus outbreak.

Reports indicates that Tapiwa Jonga got the shock of his life after he found out that his wife, Ceaser Heriheri, had been having multiple illicit affairs with other men.

Jonga made the discovery after he went through his wife’s phone and found romantic messages she exchanged with her lovers on WhatsApp messenger.

Jonga confirmed the development in an interview with the publication and added that it did not come as much of a surprise since he had long suspected that his wife had cheated on him.

He revealed that he only started being suspicious after he contracted a sexually transmitted disease after bedding her.

One of the alleged married philanders who was having an affair with Heriheri has been identified as Paul Osieki.

‘It is true that my wife has been cheating on me and I discovered that she has been bedding two men of which one of them is a businessman who supplies her with skin lightening creams.

She left her mobile phone and since we are relaxing at home during the lockdown, I was tempted to peruse her mobile phone that is how I discovered that my wife was cheating.

It affected me to the bone my brother and I now believe that she is the one who made me sick ndakaita chirwere chepabonde chakandityisa iye akamhanya mhanya kuenda neni pashop yake akanondirapisa asi ndakava nemubvunzo mukuru pazviri.

Today everything has come to light and I thank the lockdown for giving me chance to rest and discover such issues.

My wife owns a shop at Makoni and is a police officer based at Dema Police Station, ndakanochema pamberi pevanhu pashop pake ndarwara muna January gore rino ini,’ lamented Jonga.

Contacted for comment, Heriheri denied having an affair with paul stating that the latter had proposed love to her, a request which she claims she turned down.

‘I came to know Paul after he sent a love message to my inbox since we are members in one of a love WhatsApp group.

He showed interest in me but I denied his advances and as for the other men, I do not know anything about him although I chat with several men concerning my business of selling skin creams.

My husband took my mobile phone without my consent and went through my messages and I want to believe is the one who is after exposing me as if he is innocent.

If he is the one who called you I am going to deal with him ruthlessly chibvai pano endai munonyora zvamunoda nezva Paul wacho,’ said Heriheri popularly known at Makoni shopping Centre as Bibianca or Cynthia.

In a desperate move to prove her innocence, the alleged cheat handed over her phone to her husband in front of the news crew, a decision she was later to regret after he discovered another love message.
