Business mogul Philip Chiyangwa recently told a court that he is paying maintenance for more than 50 children.
According to H metro, Chiyangwa revealed that he fathered 50 children.
“He purported to have fathered 50 children and mentioned some for whom he pays maintenance in very cursory terms…the record does not show any evidence he produced in this regard apart from the names of the mothers of the children,” reads the High Court judge’s finding.
This came to light after his High Court appeal against a $40 000 maintenance order for two minor sons with estranged girlfriend, Pamela Rusere was recently dismissed.
Chiyangwa, was in June this year ordered by a Harare magistrate to pay $40 000 as maintenance for the minor children aged 13 and 7.
In addition to the cash, Chiyangwa was ordered to contribute school fees amounting to R49 172.83 per term towards the children’s education
Rusere who runs a small taxi business in South Africa had told the court that even though Chiyangwa was paying school fees, he had stopped prompting the legal action.
