Businessman Frank Buyanga has written to President
Mnangagwa detailing his custody battle and how he met his baby mama.
“During or about 2008, Mr Lawrence Muteswa approached my
offices in Harare to sell his property, namely, 13 Coventry Road, Greystone
Park. I transferred the funds (USD) to his Stanbic account, of which he
acknowledged receipt. As a part of the
agreement, I allowed Mr Muteswa an option to buy back the property, an option
of which he failed to take advantage.
“Whilst my company was in the process of recovering the
property, I received a Facebook request from Ms Chantelle Muteswa stating she
had an interest in meeting me. Unbeknown to me at the time, she was the
daughter of Mr Muteswa. I ignored her
request for some time.
“On December 31, 2009, I was invited to a New Year’s Eve
gathering by a gentleman referred to as Rimo, in Harare’s Vainona
neighbourhood. At the gathering, I was approached by Mr Leeroy Serima who
pointed out Chantelle to me. He informed me that she wanted to be introduced
and to meet me. This is how Chantelle and I became acquainted, but at the time
I did not realise that the real intention of Chantelle was to seek the
forgiveness of her family debt and to manipulate me into not proceeding with
the recovery of her father’s property.
“As time progressed, I received a friend request on
Facebook from Mr Muteswa and upon showing this request to Chantelle, she asked
me to ignore it. Chantelle and I became
close, communicating frequently and then began a relationship.
“Chantelle and I have a child who is currently five years
old. Daniel Alexander Sadiqi, was born out of wedlock in South Africa. The
access and parental rights in regard to Daniel has been the subject of
exhaustive litigation scattered between numerous courts.
“Daniel was born in South Africa, however, Chantelle
returned with him to Zimbabwe, where she unlawfully obtained a birth
certificate for him and intentionally omitted to register me as the father on
the illegally obtained document,” he said.
