WTF AFRICA- WIFE JUJU’S HUSBAND’S J***

A man accused of bashing his wife during a row over his infidelity stunned a court on Monday after claiming she had cast a magic spell on him, rendering him impotent. Tichaona was arrested on June 6 after allegedly assaulting his wife, accusing her of “locking” him.

In parts of Zim, some societies believe magic spells can be used to stop partners from cheating. In men, they can be made impotent and women can find themselves entangled if they tried to cheat.

Tichaona, 43, denies assault and has instead told a Mbare magistrate that he is the victim. He claims his troubles began when he introduced his mistress – whom he wanted to make a second wife – to Beauty , his wife and mum of their two children.

He told Mbare magistrate that since then, he has been unable to “perform” due to erectile dysfunction which doctors and traditional medicine men have been unable to treat.

“I stopped performing immediately after I introduced my girlfriend to my wife. She must have been upset with me and decided to fix me,” he said.

“I have been to Chipinge consulting traditional healers but it has not worked. I’m now pleading with my wife to undo her ‘fix’, I can pay her two cows.”

Prosecutors say Tichaona came home with his mistress on June 6, kicking off a furious row with his wife. Mapfumo claims her husband had left after the confrontation, returning home a few days later.

She claims when she asked him for money to buy food for their children, he flew into a rage and accused her of causing him to be impotent.He allegedly kicked and punched her before she fled and called the police.The trial continues.
