Siblings Want To Kill Each Other Over Fishing Worms

A misunderstanding over fishing worms has led to a feud between two siblings.

Kudakwashe Murombedzi accused his sister Hazvinei Murombedzi of disturbing his peace and applied to the Harare Civil Court for a protection order against her.

Tamara Chibindi, the presiding magistrate, granted the application.

Kudakwashe, who claims to sell fishing worms, told the court:

“She is my sister and she comes to my workplace disturbing my peace. She has been coming to my workplace without my consent.

“We once worked together for my brother and we were fired. I then moved 200m away from his site.

“I told my sister to start hers so that we don’t crowd in one place, but she refused.

“She threatened to kill me if I refuse to work with her, ndakutotya kufamba.”

In her defence, Hazvinei disputed her brother’s account.

“Your Worship, my brother is a great liar, it is our business not his.

“I never threatened to kill him ndototyawo Mwari,” said Hazvinei.
