of A family dispute in Harare, Zimbabwe, has shocked social media users after Munyaradzi accused her mother, Ethel Mupoperi, of “stealing” her husband while she was pregnant and starting a life with him in their rural hometown.
The case became the focus of a heated legal battle at the Harare Civil Court, where Munyaradzi claimed her mother’s actions amounted to a profound betrayal, likening their relationship to that of “co-wives.”
In addition to the personal betrayal, Munyaradzi alleged that her mother was now asserting ownership of a house she had started building with her former husband on land he had purchased.
Ethel, on the other hand, defended herself, stating that Munyaradzi’s feelings of resentment had escalated into verbal and emotional abuse. She told the court that her daughter had demanded she vacate the property, claiming it rightfully belonged to her.
In the end, Magistrate Meenal Naratom issued a peace order in favor of Ethel, allowing her to remain in the property and ordering her daughter to cease any form of harassment.
The scandal has sparked widespread discussion online, with many expressing shock and anger over the family’s turmoil.
