Man obtains court order evicting his wife and children and barring them from returning to house he now lives with his girlfriend

A controversial court ruling that has ignited widespread debate, following reports of a Zimbabwean man Forward Mumango evicting his wife, Primrose Mumango, and their children from their family home to accommodate his new girlfriend.

According to H-Metro, Mumango obtained a protection order from Magistrate Meenal Narotam at the Harare Civil Court, barring his wife and children from returning to the home.

Mumango alleged that his family’s refusal to accept his new girlfriend into their lives and their disrespect toward her forced him to take this action.

“She is so disrespectful and failing to accept my second wife as part of our family,” Mumango told the court. “They are making it impossible for me to live in peace with my new wife. I want them out of my house because they don’t want to accept my decision as the father of the house.”

The case took a dramatic turn when the couple’s daughter, Tofara Mumango, broke down in tears upon hearing the court’s decision. In an emotional outburst, she accused her father of being manipulated and neglecting his family.

“How could he do this to my mum?” Tofara cried. “He is just doing this because his girlfriend has manipulated him, he doesn’t care about us. He is punishing us for not accepting his new girlfriend.”

Court officials intervened to restrain Tofara as her emotional plea escalated. Primrose Mumango, visibly distraught, described her husband’s actions as a betrayal.

“He is no longer in his normal senses; he has been manipulated by his girlfriend. I am heartbroken by his decision to seek a protection order against me and his plans to evict our children,” she said.

The case has sparked outrage on social media, with many expressing sympathy for the evicted family and criticizing Mumango’s decision.
