A COMMUTER omnibus owner from Bulawayo yesterday pleaded with the maintenance court to reduce maintenance for his two children from $40 to $15.
Mbonisi Sibanda yesterday dragged his ex-girlfriend Evangelista Madziri to court saying he could no longer afford to fork out $40 monthly for his children.
Sibanda told Magistrate Adelaide Mbeure that he was not employed.
He said his girlfriend was lying that he owns a kombi. “I don’t own a Kombi but I’m just a driver and my licence expired” he said.
Mbeure ordered Madziri to go to Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) to get proof that Sibanda owned a Kombi.
Madziri produced a letter from CVR that proved Sibanda owned a Kombi. Madziri told the court that the $15 was not enough to cater for her children.
Mbeure dismissed Sibanda’s application for variation downwards.
