Sulu's ex-wife takes him to court over maintenance

Dendera musician, Sulumani Chimbetu’s ex-wife, Marigold Mutemasango yesterday took him to the civil court over maintenance of their two children citing that Sulu is failing or neglecting to take care of the two children despite having a legal; obligation to do so.

Through her lawyer Melusi Moyo, Marigold said the $100 being offered by Sulu for the two kids to cater for accommodation, food, school fees, and medical expenses amongst other things was not enough arguing that Sulu must find her and the two minors decent accommodation in medium to low density areas to match where he stays with his other children.

In her initial founding affidavit, Marigold claimed US$3200 for both children before downsizing the amount to US$1500 in her oral submissions. However, Suluman, through his lawyer, Violet Dzingirai, submitted that the US$100 will be enough for the minors and he offered to settle the school fees arrears, pay the school fees of US$300 per term for both children, put them on his medical aid, buy them clothes, groceries and toiletries among other things.
