A 37-year-old Zimbabwean woman appeared before Bulawayo magistrate court for attempted murder of her husband of ten years over an infidelity row.
Mr Mpotu, 48, is currently battling for life at the United Bulawayo Hospitals after he was allegedly stabbed by Svori.
Mr Nkathazo Dlodlo, who is representing the state said
on Wednesday, January, 18th, Svori stabbed her husband after she suspected he was having an extramarital affair.
"On January 18, this year at around
9PM, the complainant and accused person had a misunderstanding as the accused suspected that the complainant was having extramarital affair," said Dlodlo.
Svori then stabbed Mr Mpotu with a kitchen knife on the chest and on the lower side of the armpit. Neighbours heard screams and rushed to the scene to assist. A police report was made by neighbour, Mr Callmore Shumba, leading to Svori's arrest.
The victim was rushed to the hospital where he is currently admitted. Svori was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody till
February 3 while the court is awaiting a medical report on her husband's condition.
