The affair, which began in 2023, was kept secret until Sibanda decided to inform Tafadzwa’s husband about their relationship. His actions came after Tafadzwa refused to return a laptop he had gifted her during their time together.

Tafadzwa, who is also a student, said she ended the relationship due to Sibanda’s increasing pressure for intimacy and his obsession with reclaiming the laptop. She was stunned when he retaliated by contacting her husband.

“Honestly, Sibanda behaved like a child,” she said. “We met in Gwanda, where he pursued me, and I eventually agreed to the relationship. He gave me the laptop as a present, but I told my husband I bought it on an instalment.”

She added that Sibanda’s decision to inform her husband was immature and has thrown her marriage into crisis. Her husband is now reportedly furious and considering legal action against the immigration officer.

“No one discovered our relationship – he told my husband himself,” Tafadzwa said. “I won’t return the laptop; I’m a student and need it. This whole situation shows his poor judgment.”

The case has sparked conversation online about personal responsibility, emotional retaliation, and professionalism in public service. Sibanda has not commented publicly on the matter.
