HARARE- FORMER father in-law to billionaire Wicknel Chivayo David Madzikanda is embroiled in a messy love triangle compelling Mutseriwa Madzikanda to take legal action.
The matter spilled to Harare magistrate’s court and a hearing begun in which the ‘side chick’ Millicent Murape faces charges of cyberbullying and malicious damage to property following a complaint filed by Mutseriwa.
The man is mine: David Madzikanda’s alleged girlfriend Millicent Murape at court
Murape appeared before Magistrate Lisa Mutendereki facing charges under the Cyber and Data Transmission Act, alongside malicious damage to property allegations, after reportedly sending insulting WhatsApp messages to the complainant.
In testimony before the court, Mutseriwa Madzikanda told the magistrate that Murape was initially a lodger at the family property before becoming involved with her husband.
“This woman (Murape) is our lodger and now my husband’s girlfriend. She insulted me on WhatsApp and also broke my window panes,” Mutseriwa testified.
The complainant further alleged that Murape accused her of witchcraft, claiming traditional charms had been placed on her doorstep.
“She accused me of bewitching her, saying I placed a charm on her doorstep so she would miscarry her pregnancy with Madzikanda’s child,” Mutseriwa said.
Mutseriwa revealed that her husband has four other wives, including some from the “touchline,” but insisted her police report was motivated by self-protection rather than jealousy.
“I have no problem with Madzikanda sleeping with other people’s wives,it’s not his first time. His problem is that he’s searching for a son since he only has daughters. Even if he goes to the touchline, I don’t care,” she said.
The court heard that Mutseriwa had previously obtained a protection order against Murape, but after it expired, she received another abusive message.
“Murape used to call my husband while she still had her own husband because she didn’t want to pay rent. I’m surprised why she wants to sleep with a 65-year-old man when men her age are plenty,” Mutseriwa added.
In her defense, Murape told the court that both she and the complainant are girlfriends to Madzikanda, and accused Mutseriwa of stalking her to damage her reputation.
Murape also denied throwing stones or breaking window panes at the complainant’s residence.
According to court documents, Mutseriwa received offensive WhatsApp messages from Murape’s number on July 5, 2025, at approximately 9 PM, with a second batch of messages following on July 6, to which the complainant did not respond.
The matter was postponed to next week, when David Madzikanda is expected to testify.
