Allegations have emerged that Masvingo South MP Tanatsiwa Mukomberi was physically attacked last night after reportedly being discovered in an intimate encounter with a woman who is said to be married.
Mukomberi, who secured his parliamentary seat in the 2023 elections, has been a vocal advocate for youth development and healthcare initiatives. News of the alleged incident has shocked many of his supporters, who expressed disbelief over the claims circulating online.
The allegations first surfaced through a Facebook post by Nick Schiesman Museyamwa, who alleged that the ZANU-PF MP was physically attacked after being discovered in an intimate situation with a woman whose marital status is said to have been known to him.
While no official statement has been released by the MP or party representatives, the post has sparked widespread debate online, with questions raised about Mukomberi’s judgement and the potential impact on his political future.
In many Zimbabwean communities, being involved with someone else’s spouse is culturally taboo and often leads to violent confrontations. Though such acts of retaliation are technically illegal, they are still commonly reported and, in some cases, even condoned socially.
As the story develops, the public awaits clarification or response from the MP regarding the allegations.
