A man from Queens Park suburb in Bulawayo, Zambia has dumped his wife for allegedly bashing him and insulting him for failing to secure a job.

According to Zambia Observer, Timothy Dube revealed that after he was involved in an accident, he lost his job where he was employed as shop manager.

He said his wife who is gainfully employed shouldered the home needs which included paying all bills and paying the maid’s wage.

He added that his wife would verbally abuse him in front of their children and brand him a useless man. She would punch him and hurl insults at him whenever they argued, he said.

He applied for a protection order at Bulawayo’s Tredgold Courts.

“I’m applying for a protection order against my wife, Selma Sibanda.

“Whenever we are involved in an argument, she beats and insults me in front of our children. “She brands me a useless man forgetting that I’m the one who paid for her secondary and tertiary education, and also helped her attain the qualifications she has.

“She has abused me more than enough. I no longer want to stay with her.

“It is better we sell the house and share the money. I cannot stand her abuse any longer.”

“I hope this court will grant me a protection order,” he said.

Selma responding said, “He was in love with our maid and we fought over that. Time after time we are involved in heated arguments which results in fights.”

The magistrate, Makelo Ncube, granted the couple a reciprocal order.

The order binds the pair to live peacefully and not abuse each other physically and verbally.

They were also ordered to go for counseling and return to the court after a month.
