Vic Falls councillor dragged to court for impregnating married woman

VICTORIA Falls councillor Ephias Mambume (MDC Alliance) has been dragged to court for impregnating a married woman and refusing to pay for the costs involved in child birth.

The plaintiff, Pretty Mutakela, of Chinotimba sued Mambume after he denied responsibility, accusing her of having multiple partners.

Matakela told resident magistrate Rangaria Gakanje on Thursday that Mambume had blocked her from carrying out a paternity test, while Mambume in his defence accused the married woman of trying to fleece him.
