Television personality, Oscar Pambuka’s six-year-old
marriage to Nyasha Makota has hit a rocky patch with the wife instigating
divorce procedures.
Makota recently filed divorce papers, arguing that her
marriage with Pambuka had irretrievably broken down to such an extent that
there was no prospect of restoration of a normal relationship.
According to the court papers, the two got married on June
21, 2013 in Harare under the Marriage Act (Chapter 5:11) and their marriage was
blessed with two children.
“The plaintiff (Nyasha) avers that the marriage
relationship between the parties has irretrievably broken down to such an
extent that there is no prospect of restoration of a normal marriage
relationship between them in that the parties have developed irreconcilable
differences over the years, the parties have lost love and affection for each
other, the parties have not been living together as husband and wife for over
12 months,” Nyasha said in her declaration.
She added that during the subsistence of the couple’s
marriage, they acquired a few household items which they shared upon their
separation and it was just and equitable that each party retains property that
was in his or her possession.
However, Nyasha said it was in the best interest of the
minor children that their custody be granted to her with Pambuka enjoying
reasonable access to them every weekend. She demanded that Pambuka should pay US$150
per child for their upkeep.
“It is also in (the) best interest(s) of the minor children
for the parties to contribute to their welfare as follows, that the defendant
(Pambuka) makes a monthly contribution of US$150 per child while the plaintiff
will cover for the rest of the expenses, that the defendant pays school fees
for all the minor children while the plaintiff will be responsible for the rest
of the school needs,” she said.
The matter is pending. Newsday
