A local Zimbabwean court has recently heard a case involving two sisters in dispute over the same boyfriend, this publication has learnt.

The siblings, Nelia and Agnes Matururi, who are reportedly romantically involved with the same man squared off before magistrate Mr Lazarus Murendo, hurling insults at each other.

The duo approached the court seeking a binding protection order.

Both sisters claimed to be the first one to have fallen in love with the man in question, only identified as Chris. However, Chris was not present during the court session to witness the skirmish.

According to Manicapost, Agnes was the first to apply for a protection order against her older sister, Nelia, who made a counter application. Agnes accused her sister of betraying her and snatching her man from her.

“Your Worship, I fell in love with Chris first. However, my sister is jealoues. She seduced him. He started ignoring me and even moved in with her. I feel so betrayed because now she comes to my place and insults me, accusing me of trying to snatch Chris away from her when he was mine to begin with,” said the heartbroken woman.

However, Nelia disputed the claims. She told the court that Chris and Agnes were not romantically involved when she (Nelia) fell in love with him.

“As far as I know, Agnes never dated Chris. They were just friends and when she introduced him to me, we fell in love. Now she is failing to handle this simple reality,” said the elder sister.

Mr Murendo granted a binding protection order which bars the two from disturbing each other’s peace.
