It never rains but pours for the embattled Macheso family , hot on the heels of his daughter Sharon and Kuda Munetsi's acrimonious separation, the Sungura Giant Alick Macheso is now in hot soup with the long arm of the law after defaulting on paying maintenance to his ex-wife Fortunate Tafadzwa Mapako.
A warrant for his arrest has been issued.
Macheso was supposed to pay maintenance by the 31st of October but had not done so by last night-two weeks after the due date.
This reporter saw the warrant for his arrest and Tafadzwa's bank statement which proves that the money has not been deposited since October. The case was reported at Waterfalls Police Station under case RRB 2272565.
The warrant stated that Macheso defaulted in paying maintenance, school fees,uniforms and casual clothes-which is a criminal offence in terms of section 23 of Maintenance Act Chapter 5:09.
Macheso recently applied for downward variation from the US$750 that he was ordered by the Harare Magistrates court to pay since the 15th of May this year. The case is due to be heard in court on Monday.
The revered guitarist stated that business is low in the music industry and he is not earning enough to afford the US$750.
Perhaps default in payment is a sign that Macheso has hit the proverbial hard times.
Macheso is now in arrears of US$750 and will be arrested if he does not pay the said amount. Since may 31, when Macheso paid US$1030 into Tafadzwa's account, he had loyally paid the US$750 at the end of every month until September 30.
Now he is on the Police's wanted list after failing to pay by October 30 and for two weeks thereafter.
The Macheso family has been regulars at the courts with daughter Sharon just recently winning a domestic violence court case against hubby Kuda Munetsi.
Sharon has since filed for divorce and is demanding US$400 maintenance while Macheso will seek a downward variation in court on Monday.
Efforts to contact both Macheso and Tafadzwa were in vain by the time of publishing.
