Ex Police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri is broke
and has had to try to sell an agro-residential plot in Goromonzi to pay for school
fees for his three minor children.
The plot measuring 3,5 hectares, was registered in the name
of one of Chihuri’s children, 20-year-old Miss Samantha Chihuri, but three
other minor siblings also have rights to the same property.
In terms of the law, one cannot sell a property in which
minor children have personal interest without seeking permission from the High
Court, which is the upper guardian of all children.
Chihuri’s wife, Mrs Isabel Chihuri, this week filed a
chamber application at the High Court seeking an order empowering her to sell
the property to finance the children’s educational needs. The minor children
are aged 16, 11 and nine.
In the application prepared by Zimbodza & Associates,
Mrs Chihuri said her major Samantha wanted to finance her college fees and
related needs.
Mrs Chihuri wants the court to appoint Harare lawyer Ms
Shoorai Gutsa as curator to the three minor children and to manage and protect
the interests of the minor children in the transaction.
Master of High Court Mr Eldard Mutasa, who was cited as the
respondent in his official capacity, is yet to respond to the application.
