THE High Court has issued a provisional order barring businessman Frank Buyanga from taking with him his minor son to South Africa, as the fight for custody of the child takes a new turn.<\/p>\n
Buyanga and his ex-lover Chantelle Muteswa have been embroiled in a nasty fight over custody of the minor. The latest court order came after Muteswa had appealed a lower court ruling which recently directed her to hand over the four-year-old child\u2019s passport to the businessman to enable him take the child to South Africa.<\/p>\n
Through her lawyer Munyaradzi Bwanya, Muteswa challenged Buyanga\u2019s demand to be accorded same rights as the child\u2019s mother and be allowed to take the minor to other countries.<\/p>\n
She argued that there was nothing Buyanga could do with the child in South Africa which could not be done in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
High Court judge Justice Jacob Manzunzu held that there was no hurry in removing the child from the jurisdiction of the mother before conclusion of the matters before the courts.<\/p>\n
