FOR disturbing his father’s peace by playing loud music and behaving violently with his friends, a 29-year-old Mutare man was dragged to Mutare Civil Courts last week.

Blessing Chiripanhura was dragged to court by his father, Mr Malvern Chiripanhura, who complained that he was now living in fear of his reckless and unpredictable violent alcoholic son.

Mr Chiripanhura described his son as a trouble causer who was always creating chaos wherever he would.

He begged the court that his son be barred from bringing his friends home as they supported him in wreaking havoc at the family house.

He further complained that whenever they get drunk, his son and his friends play loud music and become violent at his house, thereby putting the elderly man and his old wife’s lives in danger.

“Your Worship, I have had enough of my son and his violent friends. I beg that they be barred from visiting my house. If he wants to continue staying at my house, he has to be ordered to behave and follow my rules,” the old man told the court.

Blessing, however, told the court that he was a disc jockey who hires out his speakers and equipment and therefore needed to play loud music at home.

“If you bar me from playing loud music, how will I know if my equipment is still working or not Your Worship?” he asked.

He went further to defend his friends saying not all of them were drunkards and violent and that those few surely deserved to visit him at home.

His father, however, insisted that he no longer wanted to see his son’s friends at his house.

Presiding over the matter was Mutare magistrate, Miss Nyasha Kuture. In her ruling, Miss Kuture ordered Malvern to behave and follow his father’s rules as he was still staying at his house even though he was already a major.

His friends were also barred from visiting the elderly man’s house. She warned him that if he continues to disturb his father’s peace, he would be evicted from the house.
