Woman Pours Boiling Water On Hubby For Refusing Sex
By George Maponga
A Mwenezi polygamous man is recuperating in hospital after suffering severe facial and neck burns when he was drenched with hot cooking oil by his second wife for allegedly denying her conjugal rights on Monday.
Zakaria Mukanganwi (29) of New Stands at Rutenga Growth Point is recovering at Neshuro District Hospital after his second wife — Loveness Shumba (16) — allegedly scalded him with hot cooking oil for not giving her equal attention with the other wives.
Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Peter Zhanero yesterday said they had since arrested Shumba for attempting to murder her husband.
“We have arrested a Mwenezi woman who burnt and severely injured her husband after pouring hot cooking oil on his face and neck.
“We are preferring attempted murder charges on her because the husband sustained serious injuries.
“The husband is receiving treatment at Neshuro District Hospital where his condition is stable.
“The woman will appear in court soon facing attempted murder charges,’’ said Inspector Zhanero.
On the day in question Mukanganwi, who has two wives with Shumba being the second wife, was at Rutenga bus stop, along the Masvingo-Beitbridge road, waiting to receive some goods sent by a relative from South Africa.
He was allegedly confronted by Shumba who started to accuse him of not treating her equally with the first wife, especially on the issue of conjugal rights.
Shumba also allegedly accused her husband of neglecting her and demanded an instant cash payment.
An altercation allegedly arose between the two, leading to Shumba returning to her house at the growth point where she boiled some cooking oil.
Shumba returned minutes later and found Mukanganwi sleeping at the bus stop and immediately drenched him with the hot cooking oil, injuring him in the process.
Passers-by rushed Mukanganwi to Rutenga clinic where he was transferred to Neshuro Hospital due to the seriousness of the burns.
Rutenga police then arrested Shumba.

@Cycle Mata it is very true. girls in rural areas get married as early as 15 years. At your age you could have had three wives and 12 children. At 16 in a polygamist marriage when she is suppose to be enjoying her youth and concentrating on skol yaba!!! What a waste
