CHICKEN Inn FC striker Obidiah Tarumbwa has been released
from prison after he committed to pay more than $600 monthly until he clears
about $6 000 in maintenance arrears for the upkeep of his two children.
He paid a lump sum of $1 500 towards the arrears and made a
payment plan for the balance.
Tarumbwa has been in a long-running battle over the
maintenance of the children that he sired with his ex-wife Patience.
Bulawayo magistrate Ms Rachel Mukanga yesterday set
Tarumbwa free on condition that he pays $350 towards his arrears every month
and continues to contribute $316 monthly.
The court ruled that the settlement that proposed to
service the long-run debt shall commence with effect from October 30 this year.
Tarumbwa was represented by Mr Tinashe Runganga. He was on
Monday sentenced to eight months in prison for failing to pay maintenance with
arrears of about $6 000 for the upkeep of his children.
Prosecuting, Mehluli Ndlovu said last month, Tarumbwa was
due in court for a hearing on his long running case but instead he featured in
a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match between Chicken Inn and Highlanders
at Barbourfields Stadium. Chronicle
