HARARE – Paternity tests results have proved that Zimbabwean musician Alick Macheso is the father of the two children he had with his estranged wife, Nyadzisai (Tafadzwa) Mapako.

The fallout between Macheso and Mapako took an ugly turn after the musician pushed for paternity tests before committing to maintaining the two kids from their brief marriage.

Last month Harare civil court magistrate, Tafadzwa Muvhami ordered Macheso to pay $1 030 to Mapako for her upkeep and the couple’s two minor children with effect from May 31 2014.

According to Mapako their problems started late last year when Macheso allegedly inserted his manhood into his sick child, saying that would heal fontanelle (nhova/ inkanda) problem.

Macheso is alleged to have claimed it was a traditional rite.

However, Macheso is denying these claims saying they are mere fabrications meant to tarnish and destroy his musical career.
