Woman Blames Her Sister for Her Barrenness
A Chigodora woman is seeking a protection from the courts to stop her from further peddling the malicious falsehoods that are injuring her reputation.
Eunice Mahachi and her nemesis, Agnes Mugusha, appeared before Mutare magistrate, Mr Xavier Chipato, who granted the protection order.
Mahachi said the falsehoods being spread by Mugusha were causing her sleepless nights.
“My sister is causing me immense stress, Your worship, she is spreading malicious rumours, falsely accusing me of practicing witchcraft. We shared a loving upbringing, regularly attending church together with our mother.
“However, since we got married, we have lost touch, and I have recently discovered that she has been telling people (that) I used witchcraft to prevent her from conceiving. This is particularly hurtful, considering that we both struggled with infertility until I had my first child last year,” she said.
Mahachi said Mugusha consulted a prophet who allegedly revealed that she was the reason behind her failure to conceive, an assertion she disputed as untrue.

“Despite our strained relationship, I love my sister and long for us to reconcile. I wish she would handle conflicts maturely and communicate with me respectfully, as our mother taught us.
“Instead of resorting to accusations and threats, she should have approached me in a dignified manner, and I might have shared the resources that helped me overcome infertility.”
In response, Magusha did not restrain from her earlier claims.
“Your Worship, I stand before you today, deeply hurt and betrayed by my sister’s blatant denial of the truth. She knows exactly what she is done – using witchcraft to hinder my ability to conceive, a cruel act that has left me emotionally devastated.”

“I hereby grant the protection order, and is to last for three years. You are ordered not to insult or assault the complaint. I advise you to solve your family matters in peace,” said Mr Chipato.
