A Harare man refused to pay for the upkeep of his minor child, refuting that the mother lied to him on the child's paternity.  

Victor Makoto, a self-employed electrician, alleged that his ex-wife Edna Nyika gave birth eight months after they last had sex, casting doubt on him being father of the child.

He said since the months did not tally, he could not give Nyika money for the upkeep of the child.

Nyika, who was demanding $200 for the upkeep of their one year seven months old baby, told the court that Makoto started neglecting her when she fell pregnant.

Makoto later offered to pay $20 pending paternity tests, on the condition that if DNA tests proved that he was not the child's biological father, Nyika would have to refund him his money.
