The reason for her hospitalisation, which had been kept under wraps, has now been revealed, amid revelations that her husband has been arrested.
Earlier, source reported that Linda Masarira, the president of Labour, Economists, and African Democrats (LEAD), had been hospitalised yet the reason had not been disclosed. However, it has now emerged that Linda Masarira was hospitalised after allegedly being ass@ulted by her husband, Bongani Mlotshwa.
Unverified reports suggest that Masarira suff3red injuri3s, including the loss of her left eye, due to the ass@ult by her husband. On X (formerly Twitter), a user by the name of @DrDelinquent_ made claims that Linda Masarira was physically ass@ulted by her husband after she caught him in a compromising position with her 22-year-old daughter, Kupa.
“I just received the information that our sister @lilomatic is recovering from home after almost losing her eye due #GBV in the hands of husband, #BonganiMlotshwa. This came after Linda found Bongani having s3x with her 22 year old daughter, Kupa. We condemn GBV,” @DrDelinquent_ posted on X.
Following the alleged incident, Linda Masarira’s husband was promptly taken into custody by Hatfield police.
Linda Masarira seemingly confirmed the series of events, mentioning that she was ass@ulted after questioning what was happening.
“Woroverwa kuvhunza kuti chii chirikuitika pano wabata vanhu. Ndangoti Mwari itai kuda kwenyu ndega handigone” Linda Masarira shared without getting into details.
According to an update by source, Linda Masarira and her husband are expected to make a court appearance on Monday for a Gender-based Violence (GBV) matter.
