THE woman at the centre of adulterous allegations levelled against MDC Renewal Team treasurer-general Elton Mangoma yesterday said the matter has negatively affected her social life.

Yemurai Maravanyika said as a grown-up she had a right to make her independent sexual choices, but refuted that she bedded Mangoma. Over the past fortnight, the media has been awash with the drama-filled allegations which turned bloody last week with a rival group supporting Maravanyika’s husband Believe Tevera exchanging blows with Mangoma’s supporters.
“Firstly, I must state that I have never had a relationship with Mangoma as I only met him twice at public events all the time,” said Maravanyika.
“Further, the communications I have had with Mangoma are all just professional and I never had intimate conversations with him as is being alleged by my estranged former husband Tevera (sic).”
She added: “Secondly, I want also to state it clear that Tevera is no longer my husband and thus does not have any right to instruct me how I must live my life and how I relate with people. I am a grown-up adult capable of making decisions for myself without undue interference.”
On allegations that she dumped their one-year-old son, Maravanyika said as parents, herself and Tevera should contribute equally to the minor’s upkeep.
She said she had nothing to do anymore with Tevera.
