Suspended Mashonaland Holding chief executive officer Manfred Mahari appeared before Harare Magistrate Annia Ndiraya facing charges of defaulting on maintenance, with arrears of $31 000. His former wife, Moyra, accused him of splashing money on his children from other women by buying them luxuries such as Mercedes Benz cars.
Mahari denied the charges and claimed that he had reached an agreement with his wife after he ran into financial problems. Moyra denied that Mahari was facing financial difficulties and insisted that he was still affluent. She accused Mahari of trying to fix her.
Moyra told the court:
He even bought Mercedes Benz cars for his other children aged 16 and another one currently studying at Cape Town University.
The accused person has houses in Borrowdale, Raylands Pomona and owns a flat.
We have a child who has scoliosis of the spine and needs treatment and to show that he is capable there is another child from his other families who also has that condition and was sent for treatment in United States of America recently.
