Man snubs Chief Negomo

A Harare man, Innocent Tunhira, has reportedly defied a traditional court order to pay a fine following his conviction on a charge of having an extra-marital affair with a Chiweshe villager’s wife.

Tunhira, of Budiriro, was summoned to appear at Chief Negomo’s court four months ago facing charges of adultery, but allegedly ignored the summons.

Instead, the court went ahead to pass a default judgment in favour of the offended villager and ordered Tunhira to pay two beasts or $900 as fine.
