Last week, B-Metro revealed that Mahachi sneaked into the
country and went into hiding as he was terrified of reprisals from people who
are convinced that he scalded his four-year-old son with boiling water
resulting in him suffering third-degree burns.
Zimbabweans, on various social media platforms, made clear
their agitation at Mahachi and his wife, Rose Tatenda Mahachi, who they blame
for severe burns that have seen the minor admitted to Mpilo Central Hospital
for more than a month now.
Mahachi denies the allegations and has engaged a law firm,
Tanaka Law Chambers to clear his name.
In an interview, Mahachi’s lawyer, Nkosiyabo Sibanda, of
Tanaka Law Chambers confirmed that his client visited his son.
“Yes, we went to Mpilo Hospital yesterday and father and
son had a healthy conversation. The child requested goodies from his father.
That is all I can say for now,” said Sibanda.
Maritha Ndlovu, the mother of the minor, said Mahachi and
his wife visited the child after getting a court order.
“He came with his wife after they produced a court order
and the hospital allowed them to see the child. I kept out of their way because
the law has to be respected, but the visit traumatised my child because he was
not comfortable and he cried throughout the night. Calming him was a struggle,”
she said. B Metro
