A HARARE woman took her ex-husband to the Harare Civil Court claiming $115 000 in maintenance for their child.
Samantha Mutondwa claimed that her ex-husband, Trust Mutondwa, was neglecting his child.
“I am a student and cannot afford to take care of the child alone.
“He has also refused to get a birth certificate for the child,” said Samantha.
In response, Trust said he doesn’t work and can’t afford what his ex-wife was demanding.
“My offer is $10 000, plus I have a lot of other responsibilities.
“I have been busy and have no money, that is why I have not gone to get the birth certificate,” he said.
Magistrate Ayanda Dhlamini granted Samantha $50 000 and ordered Trust to get the child a birth certificate before the end of next month.
