I want my money back: Former Blesser

. Gibson Mhaka
A BULAWAYO man is suing his ex-girlfrienda��s mother demanding $450 from her claiming it was money she borrowed to pay for her car which had been confiscated by a garage over outstanding repair costs.

Mfariseni Mleya filed a suit against his ex-lover Thandekile Mushorea��s mother, Linah Mushore at the Bulawayo Civil Court claiming she was refusing to pay back the money he lentA� her when he was still in love with her daughter.

a�?I have a dispute with the respondent (Linah Mushore) herein dating back to 2014 wherein I advanced her a sum of $450 at her specific instance and request, which amount despite demand, respondent has been refusing to pay.

a�?On 25 January 2012 defendant approached plaintiff through her daughter one Thandekile Mushore who plaintiff worked with at Ecomed Manufacturing Company. Defendant advised plaintiff that she was in need of $450 to pay for her motor vehiclea��s repairs at Classic Motors in Belmont where the vehicle was detained over outstanding mechanical repair costs.

a�?Plaintiff handed over $450 to the defendant who was in the company of her daughters Thandekile Mushore and Nadia Gore,a�? reads part of Mleyaa��s submissions.

In her opposing papers Linah from Morningside had no kind words for Mleya.

She said he was a bitter man who was a�?fixinga�? her after her daughter dumped him when she discovered that he was married.

a�?The respondent does not owe applicant anything as the applicant is the one who offered to pay for the respondenta��s car that was in the garage so that he could hire it for a fee and he offered $400. The applicant is just bitter because at the time he paid for the respondenta��s car he was in a love relationship with respondenta��s daughter Thandekile Mushore who however, later terminated the relationship when she discovered that he was a married man.

a�?My daughter has since moved on with her life and married someone hence he is trying to fix or revenge for being dumped by my daughter by making unfounded claims,a�? Lina responded.

Following Linaa��s submissions the matter was referred for trial by presiding magistrate Sheunesu Matova.
