Bulawayo man jailed over US$400 maintenance arrears

A Bulawayo dude from Emakhandeni got six months in jail after racking up four hundred bucks in unpaid child support, though half the sentence got suspended if he pays what he owes and keeps his nose clean. Melvin Khumalo admitted he ghosted the court-ordered hundred dollars monthly that was supposed to go toward his kid after his ex-wife, Martha Banda, filed the paperwork back in the summer.

The magistrate gave him three months off for good behavior over the next three years, and another three months vanish if he settles the debt. Cops grabbed him after someone reported that he had never sent a single payment since the court told him to start coughing up cash.
