Supersport United player, Kudakwashe Mahachi who had gone into hiding has finally visited his son at a local hospital.
In the company of his wife Rose Tatenda, Mahachi visited Diego at Mpilo Hospital in Bulawayo on Sunday where they pampered the scalded son with goodies.
This was confirmed by Mahachi’s lawyer Nkosiyabo Sibanda of Tanaka Law Chambers saying that:
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.
The development comes after authorities at Mpilo barred Mahachi from seeing his son. Mahachi and Rose had to produce a court order to be granted access to see Diego.
Kuda Mahachi Goes Out Of Hiding, Visits Son! |
I kept out of their way because the law has to be respected, but the visit traumatized my child because he was not comfortable and he cried throughout the night. Calming him was a struggle, confirmed Kuda’s ex-wife Maritha.
Mahachi is alleged to have scalded his 4-year-old son Diego with boiling water as punishment.
These horrific injuries did not receive timely medical attention, resulting in the minor’s right foot being amputated.
Mahachi was forced to return home after being suspended by his club, SuperSport United who demanded for the player to sort out his family issues first.
Mahachi had allegedly gone into hiding, fearing for his life.
During that period, his lawyer refused to speak on his client’s whereabouts for security reasons.
I cannot confirm or deny that.
I choose not to respond to that question for security reasons.
What I can tell you is that Mahachi is safe and awaits his day in court.
I will not say more.
