In a shocking development, a South Africa based Zimbabwean man is reported to have given away his wife to a fellow villager.

Adam Madzishe surrendered his wife Cecelia Nyausuro to Shereni Nyakamene after he admitted to impregnating her.

Reports indicate that Madzishe and Nyausuro married last year in October and only stayed together for five days before the former went to South Africa.

However, during Madzishe’s absence, Nyakamene and Nyausoro reportedly started their illicit affair resulting in the pregnancy.

Nyakamene admitted to being the father of Nyausuro’s newly-born child when the matter was brought before Acting Chief Saunyama’s court.

Allegations are that Madzishe, who had been in South Africa for some time, returned home in October this year and decided to take his wife to SA.

After processing all the paperwork, the couple proceeded to South Africa and Nyausuro delivered a bouncing baby there.

However, after the baby was born Madzishe realized that he might not be the father of the baby considering the period he had been absent.

He became suspicious and quizzed his wife about the issue, but she failed to give him a satisfactory explanation.

Madzishe decided to take the matter to court where Nyausuro later confessed before the court that Nyakamene was the father of her child.

At first, Madzishe told the court that he still loved his wife despite her having a child out of wedlock but he later changed his mind.

After full consideration, Madzishe ended up surrendering his wife to Nyakamene.

Nyakamene was fined four cattle for defiling his area and failing to respect the marriage institution. The traditional leader will take two beasts while the other two will be handed over to Madzishe.
