The Standard reports that the magistrate, sitting at Harare
Civil Courts, had ordered that the businessman must be arrested for contempt of
court after he failed to have his ex-girlfriend Chantelle Muteswa locked up for
defying a court order to give him their child’s passport ahead of the Easter
holidays.
The police had initially arrested Buyanga’s ex-lover and
she was arraigned before the Harare Magistrates’ Court but was freed.
The courts gave the mother the
right to take care of the child with Buyanga having access to the boy over
weekends. But Buyanga caused Muteswa to be arrested and arraigned
before magistrate Barbra Mateko facing charges of refusing to release the
minor’s passport so that Buyanga could travel with him to South Africa over the
holidays.
Muteswa opted to hand over the passport to her lawyer for
onward transmission to Buyanga’s representatives before travelling for the
holidays. Buyanga failed to get the passport and opened a criminal case against
his ex-lover.
Buyanga and Muteswa have been in the courts since they
broke up in 2014 fighting over the custody of their minor child. Indications are that he returned the boy yesterday to his mother.
