Bulawayo lawyer and former MDC-Alliance Member of Parliament for Binga North, Prince Dubeko Sibanda allegedly ran amok, strangled his wife and threatened to kill her and her mother with an axe after she confronted him over his plan to marry another woman.

This was revealed when the former legislator and his wife, Mrs Memory Sibanda appeared at the Bulawayo Magistrates Court where the latter was applying for a protection order against her husband.

The presiding magistrate heard evidence of repeated threats of Sibanda intending to kill his wife after she asked his family members to speak to him about his decision to sell off some of their properties without consulting her.

Mrs Sibanda was demanding that her husband comes clean on reports that he had an extra-marital affair which has produced a child.

Sibanda who was recalled from parliament in October 2020, denied threatening to kill his wife with an axe and that he was physically abusive amid concerns that he is trying to frustrate her into leaving or seeking a divorce to enable him to pursue a relationship with another woman.

The couple have been married for over 17 years and blessed with children.

He said: “I did not abuse my wife or threatened to kill her.”

Sibanda asked the court to reserve judgement on the day they appeared in court on the grounds that he was due in the High Court at the time the magistrate was expected to pass judgement.
