HARARE – Former Norton legislator Temba Mliswa is facing sensational allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Susan Mutami, who has publicly accused him of being responsible for the death of activist Patson Dzamara and of failing to provide for their son.
The allegations were made in a series of posts on Mutami’s X (formerly Twitter) handle, which have since gone viral. Patson Dzamara, who died of colon cancer, was the younger brother of Itai Dzamara, a prominent government critic who was abducted in 2015 and has not been seen since.
In her posts, Mutami launched a scathing attack on Mliswa, mixing personal grievances with a grave criminal accusation. She claimed the former MP is neglecting his parental duties, forcing their four-year-old son to rely on the Australian government for support.
“I just wanted to update all of you… @TembaMliswa has never contributed a single cent towards Tino’s upkeep,” Mutami stated.
“It’s the Australian Government that makes sure Tino is in school, has a roof over his head… whilst the man… is busy chasing after female and male prostitutes and neglecting his parental responsibilities.”
The most severe allegation came towards the end of her tirade, where she directly accused Mliswa of involvement in a high-profile death.
“Patson Dzamara’s killer,” she wrote, tagging Mliswa’s account.
In another post, she added,
“The world will be a better place without you, you piece of shit, corrupt selfish prick, Patson Dzamara’s killer.”
Mutami also detailed the circumstances of their son’s birth, referencing a specific time and date, and referred to Mliswa with the derogatory moniker “Mr Four fingers.”
As of the time of publishing, Temba Mliswa had not publicly responded to the allegations. The claims have sparked significant reaction on social media, with many users calling for Mliswa to address the serious accusations leveled against him.
It is important to note that the allegations made by Susan Mutami are currently unverified and remain before the court of public opinion.
