Man offers $10 maintnance for two children

A man from Mutare stunned the court when he offered $10 as maintenance for his two children he sired with Sandra Munyoro.

"Your Worship, I can only offer $10 for the maintenance of my two children," claimed Costa Marwa who was dragged to court by his ex-wife, Sandra Munyoro, who was claiming $110 for the upkeep of their two minor children.

 "I love my kids, but the problem is money to feed them. I am not employed and I earn a living through doing piece jobs, but they are not consistent. I can only offer $10 because Munyoro destroyed my every source of income," he said.

Munyoro told the court that Marwa was a security guard at Mukandi where he earns $100 a month. She also claimed that he runs a flea market where he also earns $300 monthly.

"He can afford the money I am praying for because he runs a flea market. Though I don't have proof of the money he earns at the flea market, I know that he earns such an amount because I used to sell at the same flea market," said Munyoro.

Marwa said he had nothing since his ex-wife took all the property when they divorced.

The magistrate  Anniah Ndiraya ordered Marwa to pay $40 as maintenance effective from January 31, 2016.
