A Gwanda man’s dream of bringing home another wife backfired after he assaulted his first wife during a heated fight over his polygamy ambitions.
The court heard how the 43-year-old accused told his wife on 22 August that he was planning to marry again. When the issue resurfaced two days later, she kept quiet, angering him further.
