Mosquito and wife reunited after ex-boxing champ begs wife to return home

The marriage between former boxing champion Alfonso “Mosquito” Zvenyika and Jesman Mutokonya has seemingly been saved after he decided to forgive her adulterous behaviour and take her back.

Mutokonya shocked Zimbabwe after it emerged that she had deserted the former boxer with all their household property after her adulterous relationship was unearthed.

Mosquito found his house empty as his wife made off with a kitchen unit, a wardrobe, blankets as well as all the food bought for the festive period. Prior to that, he had discovered texts between her and another man while getting her phone fixed.

In an interview with H-Metro, Mutokonya said she had left in a huff because she did not want a confrontation with her husband.

“I do not want to say much about the matter. What was published in H-Metro was true, I feel sorry for what I did and will not do it again. I want to believe that I was used by the Devil in falling for the temptation.

“After my husband discovered it, I was quick to pack my belongings out of shame and fear of being attacked and ran to find cover at my sister’s place.

“I was afraid of Arifonso, that is why I packed and fled the house leaving my children behind. I could not face my parents too because of this evil thing,” she said.

Mutokonya said the former boxer had begged for her return, although she was skeptical initially about his intentions. She also revealed that he had been hospitalised during the ordeal.

“My husband shocked me by visiting my parents, begging me to return home saying he had forgiven me. At first I thought he was trying to lure me and kill me upon returning but it was not so.

“He collapsed upon my arrival, we hired a vehicle to take him to hospital but he was quick to recover and refused to be driven to hospital. He left his shoes in that hired vehicle, led me into the house, poured his heart and assured me that he had truly forgiven me,” she said.

Meanwhile Mosquito said he had decided to forgive his wife because of concerns for his health and family.

“I am a sinner and who am I to judge another person? I cheated several times, I saw the need to forgive my wife, to restore my affection and love to her as well as considering the future of my children.

“I need to turn to God, who has genuine love, for strength and peace with my wife,” said Mosquito.
