A Zimbabwean businessman based in capital Harare is suing his ex-wife over defamatory and scandalous social media posts.

Adlai Pazvakavambwa has slapped his ex-wife Litchel Mandiveyi with a US$150 000 (over K300,000 )lawsuit.

This comes after Litchel posted several Facebook posts attacking him and his new wife Natalie Munemo.

“Little did I know that an evil plan was already hatched to steal you away. I asked myself what sort of a monster steals a then 7-year-old from their mother.

“Adlai Pazvakawambwa and your wife Natalie, if there is any humanity left in you…

“It was us against the world my son until the devil came to kill, steal and destroy.

“I pray that his vengeance and wrath be brought upon those that are responsible for our anguish.

“May all the lies come back to them, may all the pain caused be returned to sender,” reads one of the Facebook post Mandiveyi wrote.

In one of the posts, Litchel allegedly labeled him and his new wife ‘a monster’ and ‘a thief’.

Adlai claims that Litchel’s social media post attacked his persona, integrity, and reputation.

According to the summons brought before the court, Adlai and his current wife, claim that portions of the social media post made by Litchel were scandalous and demeaning

“The Facebook post was not only untrue in all respects but highly defamatory, scandalous and malicious and were so published with the express motive of casting aspersions on my character and that of my wife, lowering them in the estimation of ordinary reasonable persons on the Facebook platform,” reads the summons.

H-Metro reports that, after she posted several defamatory posts, Adlai demanded that Litchel pulls down the social media post and retract each and every defamatory statement made about them and make a public apology.

However, all efforts to settle the matter have proven to be in vain as Litchel only pulled down the post, but still hasn’t made an emphatic public apology.

Adlai argues that Litchel’s Facebook post has subjected him and his wife to social condemnation.

“My wife and I have been subjected to serious embarrassment, ridicule, condemnation, and harassment from the public and loss of standing, as the post, which mentions me by my full name and my wife by her first name,” he said.

To settle the case, Adlai  is demanding US$100 00 whilst his wife Natalie is demanding US$50 000 for the damages
