MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora was yesterday accused of neglecting his nine-year-old son with his former lover Getrude Tshuma.
Choma revealed this before Harare magistrate Minal Narottam as she demanded that the opposition party leader pay $1,500 a month for the care of their son.
She said Mwonzora could afford the sum, claiming that in addition to being the head of a political party, he had a farm in Nyanga and was a director in a law firm and practicing law.
Chuma also revealed that Mwonzora insisted on enrolling the minor in a private school despite his failure to pay the school fees in full. The court also heard that Mwonzora has since blocked Chuma from communicating.
Narottam Choma granted her request in Mwonzora’s absence and ordered the politician to pay US$500 a month in alimony.
Mwonzora was also ordered to pay his son’s school fees in full. Newsday
