A COURT yesterday issued a garnishee order against a Central Intelligence Officer (CIO) from Bulawayo who was not paying maintenance money on time. Marlene Mkutshwa told magistrate Batanai Tuwe that Munyaradzi Hwingiri was neglecting his child. Hwingiri has a standing maintenance order to pay $150 per month for his seven-month-old baby.
“Your worship, he doesn’t pay the child’s money on time and I’m struggling to make ends meet. As it is my child wasn’t feeling well and I struggled to get medication. It would be better if the money is deducted straight from his salary,” said Mkutshwa. Magistrate Tuwe said the two had become regulars at the court.
“It looks like the two of you are having serious problems regarding this matter. A garnishee order would help both of you,” said Tuwe. Hwingiri did not object.
He said the money would be deducted from his salary and transferred to Mkutshwa’s account.
