HARARE – Businessman Tichaona Danny Kasukuwere has been dragged to the High Court by his former customary wife, Midiah Changachirere, who is demanding half of a multimillion-dollar estate the two allegedly built during nearly three decades of marriage.
The case, filed on September 11, 2025 under Case No. HCHF3891/25, is premised on Changachirere’s claim that a tacit universal partnership existed during their customary union, which she formally dissolved on September 7 by handing Kasukuwere a traditional divorce token (gupuro).
Changachirere, an IT specialist formerly with Barclays Bank, says she made significant financial and managerial contributions to the couple’s wealth. She claims that when they married in 1996, she earned more than Kasukuwere, and in 2004 sold her Msasa Park property to help complete their Mount Pleasant Heights residence.
Among the assets she is seeking to share are:
The Mount Pleasant Heights home,
A commercial property at 38 Kwame Nkrumah Avenue in Harare,
A residential property at 27 Woodgate Road, Mount Pleasant,
Several farm and residential stands in Vumba, Bindura and Chegutu.
She is also claiming half of four luxury vehicles, 80 cattle and 80 goats. In addition, she argues she directly managed farming operations at Mapunga Farm and oversaw lodges in Vumba, asserting that many of the properties were registered under third-party companies that acted as Kasukuwere’s “alter ego.”
In her filings, Changachirere contends that granting Kasukuwere full control of the estate would amount to unjust enrichment.
Kasukuwere has entered an appearance to defend, setting the stage for a fiercely contested legal battle over the family’s fortune.
