A couple who had been married for 20 years has recently separated after the husband discovered that his wife was having an affair.
The wife, Virginia Ruzariro, had been exchanging text messages with her lover, in which they discussed their past and how he had taken her virginity.
The husband, Cossam Munemo, was devastated and received a divorce token from his wife during a family gathering in Harare.

The couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in February of this year. Cossam claims that Virginia had been unfaithful for six years and he even contemplated taking his own life but decided against it for the sake of their children.
Reports suggest that Virginia returned to Harare after leaving their base in Cape Town following the confrontation with her husband. Cossam shared his story on Facebook:
“My name is Cossam Munemo and I come from Njanja area in Sadza but currently residing in Cape Town.
“I am married and had a wedding.
“My wife comes from Chipinge, and her name is Virginia Ruzariro.
“We married in 2004 and we went together to South Africa in 2016.
“We have been staying well but sometime in 2018 I saw my wife acting strangely and she would spend more time in the children’s rooms.”
He added:
“On another day, I saw her sleeping in our girls’ room while she was on her WhatsApp chat, acting like she was talking to someone.
“I confronted her before I requested her phone but she refused with it.
“That then made me to suspect more and it gave me more depression.
“I then one day took the phone but she refused with the password until, one day, I managed to get her password.”
That is when he was confronted with the reality that drove him deeper into depression.
“I then took the phone to my workplace where I opened all the messages and discover that she was dating one Cosmas.
“They were talking about their love affair, vaitaura nyaya dzekurara vese uye kubvisana humhandara kwavakaita naCosmas uya.
“They were also despising me and the words affected me more.
“I didn’t expect that from my wife.”
He said he tried to get a pastor to help them.
“Ndakazodaidza mufundisi wedu weku church vakaedzawo nepavaigona kutibatsira before we engaged tete vanonzi Mai Rufu kana kuti Tete Ernet.
“She then sent a message to my wife so that she also says her side but she was ignored until wangomusiyawo.
“It was difficult for me. Ndakafunga zvekubva pamba ndikanogara musango kwemasvondo maviri.
“Ndakambofunga kuzviuraya asi ndakazofunga kuti vana vangu vanosara vakatambudzika.
“While I was in the bush an elder from church invited me to stay at the church.
“I was later helped and I returned home but it kept affecting me because my wife didn’t change her actions.
“We were then later assisted by her uncle but all was in vain, but we stayed together but after some time she decided to go to Zimbabwe.
“She told me she wanted to go and see her relatives but I was not happy about it since she just decided to go without us planning.”
He added:
“One day I saw some salt on our bed and I confronted her and she agreed that she had sought some help from a prophet.
“I later on discovered a chat in which she was communicating with a sangoma and she refused to open up on the issue.
“In September 2023, she left for Zimbabwe, she only told the children and later came back but I didn’t ask her.
“In March this year, she left for Zimbabwe but, after a month, I was told that she was now staying with another man in Chipinge.
“I then investigated and found out that she was now staying with Simba Munamba.”
