Anesu is admitted at Kwekwe Hospital.
The incident occurred on January 8 this year.
Anesu downed poison at her house in Kwekwe on January 8.
H-Metro contacted Forbes and he said:
โWho gave you this information, can I call you back after 15 minutes?โ
He then hung up the phone.
Angela denied any knowledge of the issue.
โI do not know anyone or anything about what you are talking about, I was not married on the day you are talking about.
โYou can get more information about your allegations from your source,โ she said.
An H-Metro source said:
โShe was married on December 14, last year.
โAngeline had the audacity to inform the first wife about the lobola which was paid for her and this sparked the whole drama.
โAnesu wanted to sacrifice her life over the issue.
โShe is currently admitted at Kwekwe Hospital.โ Anesu is an orphan who grew up under the care of her late grandmother.
