Sulu arrested outside Harare Magistrate's Court after filing application for discharge

Yesterday, Sulumani Chimbetu was served with an arrest warrant outside Harare Magistrates’ Court after he had filed an application for discharge in a matter where he is being sued by his ex-wife Marygold Rutendo Mutemasango of defaulting on a $800 monthly maintenance payment for his two children. The arrest comes barely two weeks after Sulu paid what he owed for the previous month.

Chimbetu will appear today in court following yesterday’s arrest while his application for discharge will be heard on June 28. In his application for discharge, Chimbetu argued that the persistent arrests are just meant to embarrass him. He was issued with a warrant of arrest in March this year after he failed to pay two months’ maintenance. The matter was withdrawn after plea when he settled the debt.
