VPs Chiwenga and Mohadi earn $14 000 a month each, it has
been revealed in court.
Mohadi’s payslip was produced in a divorce wranglewith his
former wife Tambudzani.
The Standard reports that Tambudzani is demanding a $13 394
monthly maintenance from Mohadi, whom she says earns “quite a substantial
amount”.
“As a vice-president, the respondent (Mohadi) has more than
enough financial means to meet his maintenance obligation post- divorce,” she
argued in the court papers.
“As a vice-president, the respondent is entitled to annual
pension equivalent to (an) annual salary in terms of section 2 (1) (a1) of the
presidential pension and retirement benefit.
“The respondent is the vice-president and a 70-year-old
businessman with various business ventures all over the country.
“During the subsistence of the marriage, we always
maintained a high standard of living due to our high-earning capacity,”
Tambudzani said.
“However, my monthly income is insufficient to pay for all
my monthly expenses and sustain the lifestyle I am accustomed to.
“As such, it is the legal duty of the respondent to
contribute maintenance for my monthly expenses until I die or remarry,” she
said.
Her own payslip for July 2018 showed that she earned a
gross salary of $1 124 and an allowance of $1 046. Her net salary was $2 032.
Last month the government increased the salaries of civil
servants by less than $300 and the workers complain that the money has already
been eroded by hyperinflation.
Civil servants take home less than $1 000 in salaries per
month.
