HARARE \u2013 MDC-T President Douglas Mwonzora is facing an outstanding warrant of arrest after defaulting on child maintenance payments, accumulating arrears of US$3,500 for his 10-year-old son, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The warrant was issued by a Harare magistrate nearly two months ago, but police are yet to execute it. Mwonzora was ordered in February 2024 to pay US$500 monthly for his son’s upkeep and school fees, but has failed to make payments for seven months from March to September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The child’s mother, Getrude Chuma, expressed frustration with the police’s delay in serving the warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am not happy with Police at Harare Central for failing to serve the warrant on Mwonzora for the third time,” Chuma told the Masvingo Mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When contacted for comment, Mwonzora denied knowledge of the arrest warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I haven’t received the warrant of arrest you are talking about. I don’t deserve any warrant. This is a sniff campaign,” the opposition leader stated, while acknowledging the existence of the civil case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National Police Spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, told the Masvingo Mirror he would investigate why the warrant hadn’t been executed, but no explanation had been provided by the time of publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The case, registered under Harare Central CR M389, remains unresolved as the warrant continues to go unserved nearly two months after its issuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
