adminPM loses court bid in maintenance case
Harare Bureau
PRIME Minister Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday lost a bid to have the $15 000 maintenance claim by his wife Ms Locardia Karimatsenga struck off the roll.
Harare Civil Court magistrate Mr Reuben Mukavhi ruled that the application was properly before the courts and that the hearing should be held.
PM Tsvangirai had argued that the application did not comply with the provisions of the Maintenance Act.
The premier’s lawyer Advocate Thabani Mpofu said the claim could have been brought up through summons and not a court application.
He also argued that service of the court papers was not done properly.
Adv Mpofu raised the objection just before the maintenance inquiry but Mr Mukavhi ruled against him.
