Tsholotsho MP acquitted

Tsholotsho South MP Maxwell Dube has been acquitted of domestic violence charges by a Bulawayo magistrate amid claims that his wife was used by Zanu PF elements bent on tarnishing his image.

Dube claimed his wife Thandiwe Debra Dube (née Hlatshwayo) was in love with a Zanu PF activist who wanted to tarnish his name.

He said his wife wanted to force him out of their matrimonial home in Bulawayo’s Mahatshula suburb.
