WIFE STOPS HUBBY ON HIS TRACKS TO MARRY ANOTHER

MBABANE – “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” This adage holds true for a woman of Moihoek in Shiselweni, who has since obtained an order to stop a marriage between her husband and another woman.

Hlobisile Metfula nee Ndwandwe, filed an urgent application at the High Court after she got wind that her husband, Mbongeni Metfula, had engaged another woman. 
The engagement ceremony between Mbongeni and his new find, Hlobisile Ndlangamandla, was held at Terbanacle Church on May 13, 2018.

Interestingly, both women share the same name - Hlobisile.  
In her application, Ndwandwe has annexed pictures of her husband putting a ring on Ndlangamandla’s finger during the engagement ceremony.

Engagement

“I have been advised by members of the Terbanacle Church that Mbongeni and Ndlangamandla conducted an engagement ceremony on May 13, 2018, which was officiated by Pastor Futhi Simelane at the Terbanacle Church,” submitted Ndwandwe.
She then referred the court to the annexed pictures showing Mbongeni and Ndlangamandla standing together, and further showing the former inserting an engagement ring on the finger of the second respondent (Ndlangamandla)

She told the court that she had been advised and verily believed that Mbongeni and Ndlangamandla could contract a civil marriage anytime from now.
The order interdicting and restraining Mbongeni from solemnising or contracting a civil rites marriage with Ndlangamandla was issued by Judge Titus Mlangeni.

The judge, however, postponed some of the prayers that were being sought by Ndwandwe in her application. Ndwandwe also wanted the court to declare that the relationship between Mbongeni and Ndlangamandla was adulterous.

The pastor of the church, Futhi Simelane, has been cited as the third respondent in the matter.  Simelane had been cited in his official capacity as the pastor of Terbanacle Church, as he reportedly officiated during the engagement ceremony of Mbongeni and Ndlangamandla.

In her application, Ndwandwe claimed that she was the lawful wife of Mbongeni, having contracted a civil rites marriage in community of property at Phuzumoya on June 18, 2016.

She alleged that the aforesaid marriage still subsists and the marriage certificate was allegedly in the possession of Mbongeni.
Ndwandwe went on to inform the court that they had three children and after the solemnisation of their marriage, they established a matrimonial home at Moihoek in the Shiselweni Region.
