Prosper Sabawu made the offer at the Harare Civil Court where he had been dragged for failure to sustain his child and wife.
"I want $50 for the child's upkeep. He does not care what the child eats or wears. I want him to contribute something," said Hazel Madondo.
"I am unemployed and rely on well wishers for a living. I am struggling to secure a job but i am doing what i can do," he said.
"I can not pay $50 but i can afford $20 for the child's upkeep. The $20 will cover the child's food only and cannot offer more for clothes or rentals."
