ZIMBABWE’S former first lady, Grace Mugabe’s son, Russel Goreraza, is in trouble with the law after defaulting payment of maintenance for his son.
Goreraza (40) is now in three-months arrears amounting to US$7 500.
“He was arraigned was before Concession Magistrates’ Court facing charges of contravening Section 23 of the Maintenance Act Chapter 05:09 “failing to comply with maintenance order,” said the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ) in a statement.
Goreraza was, however, not asked to plead after he requested for time to secure a legal practitioner.
In January this year, the former first lady’s offspring with ex-husband Stanley Goreraza whom she married before moving to late president Robert Mugabe, was dragged to court by the mother of his child who successfully secured a maintenance order against him.
Goreraza was ordered to pay US$2,500 or ZWL equivalent at the prevailing inter-bank rate per month as maintenance for his child.
It is alleged that he defaulted payment from January to March 2024 this year.
As a result, he is allegedly owing US$7 500 as of March 31, 2024.
He appeared in court as a self-actor and was remanded to May 28 for trial.
