Mai Dhuterere was not ready to divulge more as she had company and travelling.
However, a reliable source close to her revealed that the celebrity gospel couple’s problems have been ongoing for years, but the wife has been trying to protect their image.
“It’s not looking good for Mambo Dhuterere’s marriage since he has moved out, leaving his eight-month-pregnant wife at home with their four children.”
According to Mai Dhuterere’s camp, the popular musician started acting strange when he found out she was pregnant.
“Our main concern now is the children because Mai Dhuterere’s condition is dire; she is eight months pregnant and can deliver at any time,” stressed the source.
The source indicated that Dhuterere moved out with his travel documents and clothes to an unknown location.
“He appears to be a nice man in public, but he has been subjecting his wife to ridicule, sometimes blaming her for his bad luck.
“At one point, Dhuterere accused her of bad luck after he failed to get a car from Sir Wicknell Chivayo. The problem now is that his fallout with Mai Dhuterere is affecting their kids, especially their eldest who doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this mess.
“They settled together when she had a child from a previous marriage, and they agreed to adopt the other child. He has completely changed and started moving around with friends, claiming to be running errands.”
It is claimed that Dhuterere moved out of the matrimonial home after the wife was arrested and subsequently appeared in court over a US$16 000 fraud case.
The 36-year-old Vambe was charged with fraud at the Harare Magistrates’ Court in December last year and the case is ongoing.
She allegedly conspired with her brother to deceive the complainant, having misrepresented that they could secure a Toyota Hilux GD6 from Botswana on the complainant’s behalf.
“The court case was the final nail in their marriage . . . ”
Mai Dhuterere is reportedly living in fear after thieves broke into her rented apartment and stole a laptop and a cellphone.
“It’s sad that she lost her belongings when the thieves broke in and took her laptop and cellphone. Luckily, she managed to recover her passport, which was dumped in the garden. The thief entered through the window, and there is still evidence of a broken window at the home,” narrated the source.
To try and make ends meet, Mai Dhuterere is reportedly now in the business of supplying detergents.
In 2023, Mambo Dhuterere suffered from depression amid reports that he had allegedly been caught cheating, forcing Mai Dhuterere to go back to Botswana where they were previously based.
He went public and revealed that he was not taking bookings for sh ows due to depression although he did not reveal what caused the problem.
“Have been turning down booking ‘n’ invitations zvaita kuti vamwe vave disappointed in me . . . forgive me. Am down mentally, emotionally, spiritually depressed . . . Just need a little while to pick myself up, I WILL BE BACK. ln God we trust…,” he posted on Facebook
