The maintenance case involving flamboyant businessman Philip Chiyangwa and his wife has took a new twist.
According to multiple sources, Phillip Chiyangwa has asked the courts to consider a downward variation on maintenance fee for two children with former wife Pamela Rusere from $40 000 per month to $8 000.
In 2020 Rusere won a court order for the MP to pay $40 000 for his two children before Chiyangwa obtained a default judgment for the maintenance variation which reduced the fee to a paltry $8 000 (approximately US$40) at the parallel market.
He was also ordered to pay R49 000 directly to a school in South Africa for the children’s fees
However, in April 2021, the businessman obtained a default judgment that varied the maintenance from $40 000 to $8 000 while Rusere’s application for rescission was dismissed.
