ADULTERY DAMAGES SHOCKER: $25,000 Awarded Against War Veteran’s Mistress

ADULTERY DAMAGES SHOCKER: $25,000 Awarded Against War Veteran’s Mistress

 

In a jaw-dropping verdict, the High Court in Masvingo has slapped Eugenia Juvoringo Machaya with a $25,000 adultery damages bill for her alleged role in destroying a 41-year marriage. Yes, you read that right – $25,000 for messing with the wrong guy’s wife!

Justice Joel Mambara handed down the ruling after Machaya’s defense was struck out for her no-show at a pre-trial conference. Talk about a costly absence! Machaya’s subsequent attempt to rescind the decision was deemed abandoned, leaving her high and dry.

The plaintiff, Viola Dhudhla Machingura, claimed $50,000 in damages, but the court settled on $25,000 – still a pretty penny for a dalliance gone wrong. According to court papers, Viola’s life was turned upside down by Machaya’s alleged affair with her husband, Peter Machingura, a prominent war veteran and sugarcane farmer. The emotional trauma, public humiliation, and loss of her role within the family left Viola needing medical treatment for diabetes, hypertension, and depression. No wonder – who wouldn’t be stressed with a cheating spouse and a mistress on the side?

To add insult to injury, Machaya is allegedly still married to her first husband, making this whole ordeal a tangled web of deceit. The affair reportedly produced two children, because why not, right?

The sheriff’s already prepared a writ of execution, so Machaya better cough up the cash or face the music – and a potential property auction. This case highlights the high stakes of playing with fire in Zimbabwean law.

Some notable cases that set the stage for this ruling include:

– Sithole v Sithole & Another (1991): Adultery damages awarded for emotional distress and alienation of affection.
– Chinamasa v Chinamasa (1998): Emotional harm and financial prejudice considered in divorce proceedings involving adultery.
– Makiwa v Jani (1984): Damages awarded for emotional harm and humiliation due to adultery.
