Man protests over $650 maintenance, says he can only pay $70

Mfariseni Mleya has appealed to the Matabeleland North provincial magistrate against what he deems to be an “excessive” maintenance order which was granted by Bulawayo magistrate, Tinashe Tashaya. Mleya accused the magistrate and police officers of being in cahoots with his wife. He was ordered to pay $650 per month with $470 being for the children’s maintenance and $180 for spousal support of his wife, Junnia Mleya. Mleya is arguing that he can only pay $70.

Part of his court papers read:

I can only consent to pay $70 monthly to cater for day-to-day needs of the children. I am still legally married to applicant and she is supposed to be residing with me, but she chased me out of our matrimonial house and used her boyfriends who are police officers to boot me out of the house.

For the sake of peace, I moved out much to her pleasure. She has relocated to some other place I do not know and she now wants to use my money and impoverish me for selfish reasons. I buy groceries for my daughter twice per term. I set up business for applicant to operate as cross border trader, but she squandered everything. I also have personal accounts to settle.

  1. Unquestionably consider that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be
    on the net the simplest thing to keep in mind of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other folks think about concerns
    that they plainly don’t realize about. You managed to
    hit the nail upon the top as neatly as defined out the entire thing without having side effect
    , other folks can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more.

    Thanks
