She stormed into the wedding room moments before Singano exchanged vows
with his new babe Francisca Kanyama. The drama was taken outside the
court building where Magdalene exchanged blows with Francisca, who was
still clad in her wedding gown.
The fight happened in full view of Singano who watched helplessly as his
wife and lover got down to “business”. Onlookers, who were attending to
their court businesses, cheered the fight and accused Kanyama of being a
husband snatcher.
“He is my husband and we got married in 1992. I only discovered he
wanted to marry his girlfriend when I saw a profile picture of her on
his phone. We stay together in our matrimonial house in Crowborough here
in Harare but he leaves me in the house and goes to co-habit with his
girlfriend in Mufakose,” said the wife.

The man Singano confirmed that he has four children with Magdalene, but
submitted that he divorced her five years ago. “We divorced in 2011
because she was too violent and I decided to end the marriage and left
the house,” he said.
