By A Correspondent- An MDC ward chairperson, Nobody Makoni was accused by his ex-wife, Beauty Benny of neglecting his child with her.

Appearing before magistrate Sheila Nazombe, Beauty claimed that Makoni earned his salary in foreign currency thus he was able to pay $425 monthly maintenance.

”He works for the Nelson Chamisa-led Movement for Democratic Change and he earns money in foreign currency, I understand that he has 10 children but some are now grown up and they are working whilst some have married. He earns about R18 000 plus additional figures via his Eco Cash,” said Beauty.

However,Makoni told the court that he was not employed at the moment and did not receive any salary in foreign currency.

”Yes, I am a ward Chairperson for the MDC but it’s not a paid job. I am a volunteer. I am not employed and I have other children to look after said Makoni,” said Makoni.

The presiding magistrate ordered Makoni to bring his EcoCash statement to court tomorrow for continuation of trial.-HMetro
