Revealed | Here Are Bona Mugabe’s Divorce Demands From Simba Chikore
Bona Mugabe, daughter of the late Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, has recently filed for divorce from her husband Simba Chikore, causing a stir on social media. The couple had been married for nine years before their relationship ended in a tragic turn of events.
According to court documents, Bona has demanded that her husband pays $8,100 per month in maintenance for their three children, equating to $2,700 per child. In response, Bona noted that her husband is capable of paying the requested amount since he has a vested interest in several business ventures.
Regarding child custody, Bona seeks full custody of the children as she believes it is in their best interest. Simba Chikore can only have access to the children every other weekend if Bona’s wishes are granted.
