A MUTARE man is in trouble with the law after he defaulted paying maintenance for his minor child in the past 33 months, accruing arrears amounting to $3 600.
Kudakwashe Muradzikwa of House Number 132, Chineta, Sakubva was charged with defaulting to pay maintenance as defined in Section 23 of the Maintenance Act, Chapter 5:09.
He pleaded not guilty when he appeared before Miss Tracey Muzondo who remanded him out of custody to December 13 on $50 bail.
Mr Fletcher Karombe prosecuted. The court heard that Muradzikwa was in arrears amounting to $3 600.
“Muradzikwa was ordered by the court on January 9, 2014 to pay $100 as monthly maintenance for one minor child he sired with Mellan Masunungure of House Number 25, Muchena, with effect from January 31.
“Muradzikwa and Masunungure were not married. He defaulted in paying the money up to October and the arrears accrued to $300,” said Mr Karombe.
