SEKE 8 Primary School headmaster Samuel Matibiri is being stalked by his ex-girlfriend who is demanding money from him after he promised to cater for the welfare of her children, a Chitungwiza magistrate heard.

Matibiri, who was seeking a protection order against Margaret Nota, told magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa on Tuesday that his ex-girlfriend was in the habit of coming to his workplace insulting him and demanding money to pay fees for children from her previous marriage.
“I am a married man and she is now causing problems in my marriage. She always calls and stalks me even at work where she comes demanding money for her children’s upkeep,” he told the court.
Nota, however, denied ever insulting Matibiri, saying he made promises to her that he was going to pay fees for her children after he forced her to get into a relationship to secure a place for them at Seke 8.
“I approached him last year, seeking places for my children. He told me that he could secure a place for them, but only on the condition that I accept his love proposal, which I accepted. He then promised to pay the school fees as well,” she said. “Trouble only started when he went to a witchdoctor and gave me some herbs which he said I should take so as not to get pregnant and after taking those herbs, I fell ill and he started ignoring me.”
Magistrate Gofa granted Matibiri the protection order.
