There was free drama at the Rusape Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday afternoon when lawyer, Tendai Bvuma and estranged ex- live-in girlfriend, Hazel Mahati(court interpreter) were involved in a public fight.
The fighting temporarily brought court business to a halt as officials rushed to offer Mahati first aid assistance.
It was not clear at first why the two former lovers were fighting while at work.
As the two fought, Bvuma punched Mahati on the cheek and she plunged headlong to the ground.
She lost consciousness in the process, prompting Mr Khupe to shout: “Tendai unouraya munhu kani” and Bvuma responded saying: “Anofira mumaoko angu uyu, basa rekundiendera kun’anga nemaporofita.”
Mahati was later carried by fellow workmates from Mr Mutyasira’s office into senior interpreter, Mr Binali’s office.
When Bvuma saw reporters, he shouted pointing at Mahati: “Correspondent wanga uripiko? Tora news. Anga akuenderera mberi. Ndamudzemura akafenda. (Hey you Correspondent where were you.
Asked to comment on what led him to fight his former girlfriend whom he has a two-year-old son with in public, Bvuma alleged that Mahati was visiting n’angas and prophets for him to have misfortunes in life.
Bvuma was taken to hospital where she fully recovered from her injuries.
