A prophet with the Johanne Masowe eChishanu apostolic sect was severely assaulted by his former wife at his shrine following a dispute, a Harare Civil Court has heard.
Shadreck Runganga, who was seeking a protection order against his ex-wife, Beauty Magarachani, alleged that she assaulted him in front of the congregation. Runganga told magistrate Mrs Marehwanazvo Gofa that Magarachani was chased away by her parents for infidelity and his hope of making her a better wife were in vain as she continued having extra-marital affairs resulting in their divorce.
He said Magarachani also scolded him in public using obscene language and this was affecting him emotionally as a “man of God”.

“She also destroys my things at the shrine and she dumped our one-year-old child there. She is always threatening me with unknown action and vows not to stop assaulting me until I reconcile with her.
“Whenever she sees me in public, she shouts at me using vulgar words, humiliating me. She was chased away by her parents for (sleeping around) and she has been arrested by police on several occasions for causing violence,” he said.
Magarachani denied the allegations. She told the court that Runganga was framing allegations against her.
“I have never attacked him as he has alleges,” Magarachani said.
“I never dumped the child like he has said. He is the one who took the child after using his prophetic tricks and made the child sick,” she said.
Mrs Gofa ordered Magarachani to stop abusing Runganga in any way and to keep peace with him at all times.
