‘Ex and lover come to me for help’

Clotilder Mwanza

A woman said her ex-husband always approaches her for help with his new lover whenever they have problems.

Precious Muzega took her ex-husband, Fadzai Muzega, to the Civil Court claiming US$30 in spousal maintenance.

Magistrate Ayanda Dhlamini granted her claim.

“My ex-husband is a builder and I want him to maintain me with US$30 because he can afford through contracts. I used to run around finding jobs for him.

“Whenever he has problems with his girlfriend, he comes to me. He is staying with someone, but they don’t have a child together.

“I got married to him in 2020 and we wedded,” said Precious.

Fadzai said he doesn’t work and can’t afford what his ex-wife was demanding.

“I have nothing to offer her because I don’t have money. She is the one who paid for my bus fare to attend this court.

“I have another child with another woman and I am paying maintenance of $15 000.

“Yes, I am a builder, but I don’t always get contracts,” said Fadzai.
