Accused. Millicent MurapeA messy love dispute involving billionaire Wicknell Chivayo’s father-in-law, David Madzikanda, has spilled into the courts, with his wife dragging his alleged girlfriend before a Harare magistrate on cyberbullying and property damage charges.
Millicent Murape, described in court as Madzikanda’s “side chick,” appeared before Magistrate Lisa Mutendereki facing charges under the Cyber and Data Transmission Act, alongside malicious damage to property.
The court heard that Murape, who was initially a lodger at the Madzikanda family property, later began a relationship with Madzikanda and allegedly sent insulting WhatsApp messages to his wife, Mutseriwa Madzikanda, boasting that she was now “taking over” her husband and becoming the new landlady.
Mutseriwa told the court that Murape also accused her of witchcraft, claiming she had placed traditional charms on her doorstep to cause a miscarriage.
“This woman (Murape) is our lodger and now my husband’s girlfriend. She insulted me on WhatsApp and also broke my window panes,” Mutseriwa testified.
“She accused me of bewitching her, saying I placed a charm on her doorstep so she would miscarry her pregnancy with Madzikanda’s child.”
Mutseriwa revealed that her husband has four other wives including some from the “touchline”but insisted her police report was not driven by jealousy, but by a need to protect herself.
She recounted how she once went to Murape’s apartment to confront her over a message, only to discover her husband inside.
“I know Murape had her own husband, so I was surprised to see my husband inside her room in the middle of the day when he was supposed to be at work,” she said.
“I waited at the door for an hour. When they finally came out, I tried to talk to them, but they refused to engage.”
Mutseriwa said she later obtained a protection order against Murape, but after it expired, Murape sent her another abusive message.
When the prosecutor asked if jealousy was behind the complaint, Mutseriwa firmly denied it.
“I have no problem with Madzikanda sleeping with other people’s wives—it’s not his first time. His problem is that he’s searching for a son since he only has daughters. Even if he goes to the touchline, I don’t care,” she said.
“Murape used to call my husband while she still had her own husband because she didn’t want to pay rent. I’m surprised why she wants to sleep with a 65-year-old man when men her age are plenty.”
In her defence, Murape told the court that she and the complainant are both girlfriends to Madzikanda.
She accused Mutseriwa of stalking her to damage her reputation, and claimed Mutseriwa had called her a prostitute out of jealousy over her relationship with the elderly doctor.
Murape also denied throwing stones or breaking any window panes at Mutseriwa’s residence.
The allegations before the court state that on July 5, 2025, around 9 PM, Mutseriwa received offensive WhatsApp messages from Murape’s number.
A second batch of messages followed on July 6, to which Mutseriwa did not reply.
The matter was postponed to next week, when Madzikanda is expected to take the stand and testify.
