Former CAPS United president and PSL chairperson Twine Phiri was issued with a warrant of arrest last Friday after he disappeared at Harare Magistrates’ Court, where he was set to appear and answer to charges of defaulting paying maintenance.
Phiri’s name was shouted three times outside the courtroom. The complainant in the matter is Phiri’s former wife, Keresia Phiri, who resides in Chadcombe, Harare. Twine Phiri was sentenced to three months in prison on May 22 this year, but the sentence was wholly suspended on condition that he settled his $5 971 maintenance debt on or before August 1, 2017.

Twine Phiri on the run after failing to pay maintenance

Dendera musician Sulumani Chimbetu was sentenced to 20 days in prison when he appeared before magistrate Anniah Ndiraya accused of failing to pay $800 for the upkeep of his two kids with his former wife Marygold Mutemasango.
He was, however, given an option to pay $100 fine. His lawyer Cornwell Mutebve argued that Chimbeu was failing to settle his own debts because he does not depend on a salary. Prosecutor Devoted Gwashavanhu Nyagano urged the court to give Chimbetu a custodial sentence or community service arguing that it has become his habit to default paying maintenance.
