A NEWLY wedded Bulawayo woman pulled a shocker after disappearing a few hours after tying the knot at a colourful wedding ceremony. Then she spent the night with her secret lover, much to the chagrin of both sets of families.

Sisasenkosi Mpofu is alleged to have disappeared on the day she tied the knot with Mbongeni Moyo, a church elder at the Seventh Day Adventist Church Iminyela branch. The wedding took place at the end of May.

Mpofu reportedly spent the night with her secret lover and returned the following day. When Moyo quizzed her on her disappearing act, she failed to explain where she had slept.

It is said Moyo snatched her cell phone, went through the messages and allegedly stumbled upon love messages she had exchanged with her secret lover, identified as Geshom Gwatiringa, a police officer stationed at Hillside Police Station. Now between a rock and a hard place, Mpofu revealed that she had spent the night with Gwatiringa.

The matter has now spilt into the courts, where Moyo is accused of teaming up with his brother-in-law to assault Gwatiringa.

The court heard that a few days after the groom returned to her husband, Moyo then teamed up with his brother-in-law Fungai Mpofu and his friends, Prosper Ndlovu and Allen Munhuru and went to Gwatiringa’s home in Emakhandeni suburb.

“They went to Geshom’s place and arrived at around 1 am. They found him sleeping with his wife. They knocked at the door and he came outside. One of the accused persons grabbed Geshom by his neck accusing him of cheating with a married woman,” said prosecutor Christina Manyika in court.

They were not done yet. After that, they allegedly attacked Gwatiringa with fists and kicked him before they bundled him into their car and drove off heading to Entumbane Police Station.

“On the way to the police station they assaulted him with fists and open hands. They left him at the station, sadly Geshom collapsed as he severely bled,” said the prosecutor.

He was rushed to Mpilo Central Hospital for medical attention. After that, a police case was opened against Moyo and his accomplices leading to their arrest.

They appeared in court recently for trial before Western Commonage regional magistrate Sibongile Msipa-Marondedze facing an attempted murder charge and they pleaded not guilty.

In their joint defence they said: “We did not beat him up but we took him to a police station to report him for sleeping with a woman knowing fully that she has been married and recently tied the knot.”

They were remanded out of custody until 29 November
