Former Premier Soccer League chairman Twine Phiri, has
claimed that his ex wife is squandering their children’s school fees.
Phiri who is shuttling between his home and court an
average of three times a week over a maintenance default charge backdated to
2014 said ex-wife Keresiya, was ungrateful.
“I gave her more than $7 000 for school fees and only to
receive a call from the school over non-payment of fees,” a distraught Phiri
said in court.
“I have proof that she did not pay the fees and I had to go
to the school and make a payment plan so that my children attend school. I love
my children and I am a responsible father to the extent that I even provide for
my first-born child who had since been discharged from receiving maintenance since
he is an adult.”
“I even sent him abroad to study, but I was shocked that on
the day I went with him to South Africa to bid him farewell, she sneaked back
from the airport and reported me to the police for default despite the
financial strain I incurred sending the child abroad.”
The magistrate postponed the matter to March 19 for ruling.
