Auxilia Mnangagwa Sons Accused Of Kidnapping Frank Buyangaâ€™s Son

ZIMBABWE’S first family has been linked to the disappearance of a minor child, whose Zimbabwean father lives in South Africa and wants his son returned after alleging his mother ‘kidnapped’ him.

The woman, Chantelle Muteswa, bore the child out of wedlock to Johannesburg businessman Frank Buyanga, who is now demanding that the police commissioner and the country’s home affairs minister investigate the matter urgently.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s family was dragged into the matter between Buyanga and his former girlfriend as Muteswa is now dating the president’s son Collins.

Collins is accused of facilitating the disappearance of the four-year-old boy.

In a message to Buyanga seen by The Citizen, an alleged witness tells him: “My brother is very close to the first family and he told me that the kidnapping of Buyanga’s son was a well-orchestrated plan. Between 10 and 11 March, Mrs Mnangagwa’s sons met with members of the police force and gave them instructions to forcefully grab your son with an outdated court order.”

The testimony continued: “The messenger of court was told to cooperate or he would lose his job. Your ex-girlfriend was again to relay her story to [First Lady] Mrs Auxilia Mnangagwa as a cover up so that if Number 1 [the president] asks she will cover [for] the boys.”

“Right now the family has told Chantelle to go into hiding with the child until they finish dealing with you.” He warned Buyanga that his life was allegedly in danger.

“The main actors are Auxilia, Emmerson Junior and Collins. Collins is putting the pressure as he is dating Chantelle and promised her that he will make Frank lose at all costs.”

Buyanga, a flamboyant millionaire businessman known for his sports cars and based in Sandton, has been battling to bring his son to South Africa after the mother claimed sole custody of the child and denied him shared custody. Buyanga was barred from travelling with the child.

The businessman has also been seeking the court’s directive to force his former girlfriend to have their son carry his name.

Buyanga last week received a landmark ruling in his favour that gives fathers of children born out of wedlock the same rights as their mothers.

The court ruled that the common law position discriminated against a child born out of wedlock by treating the child as if he or she had no father save for the purposes of maintenance. Zimbabwean law favours women over men when it comes to the custody rights of children.

Now, he has again approached the court on an urgent basis seeking to compel the police and home affairs minister to find his son.

“I successfully obtained a court order that extended my access rights to allow me to provide accommodation for the minor child. The court found that his mother could not provide accommodation for him. In compliance with the court order, I have been staying with the minor child as directed by the children’s court until the mother kidnapped him on 11 March 2020.”

The court application says further: “I have made two police reports. One was made at the Harare Central Police station under IR030842 and the other at Highlands Police Station under RRB4311849. I have not been given an investigating officer on both of them to date.”

Zimbabwe government spokesperson Nick Mangwana did not respond to requests for comment.

Renewable Energy Investments Continue Growing Worldwide

Renewable energy is becoming one of the most important industries in the global economy as countries seek cleaner and more sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar power, wind energy, hydroelectric systems, and battery storage technologies are helping reduce environmental pollution while supporting economic development and energy security.

rnrn

Governments and private companies are investing billions into renewable energy infrastructure projects designed to reduce carbon emissions and expand electricity access. Solar energy has become especially popular in regions with abundant sunlight, including parts of Africa, Australia, and the Middle East.

rnrn

Electric vehicles are also contributing to renewable energy growth by reducing reliance on gasoline and diesel-powered transportation. Advances in battery technology and charging infrastructure are making electric vehicles more practical and affordable for consumers worldwide.

Renewable energy industries are creating thousands of jobs in engineering, manufacturing, construction, and technology sectors. Experts believe clean energy investments will continue driving innovation and long-term economic growth in both developed and emerging markets.

Drug Rehab Treatment Centers: How to Choose the Right Program

Choosing a drug rehab treatment center is an important decision for individuals and families facing substance use challenges. The right program can provide structure, support, therapy, and recovery planning. However, not every treatment center is the same, so it is important to understand what to compare.

rnrn

Drug rehab programs may include inpatient treatment, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, standard outpatient care, and aftercare support. The best level of care depends on the person’s substance use history, health needs, home environment, mental health concerns, and risk of relapse.

rnrn

Inpatient or residential treatment usually provides 24-hour support in a structured setting. This may be helpful for people who need a stable environment away from triggers. Outpatient treatment allows people to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions. This may work better for people with strong support systems and less severe needs.

rnrn

Medical detox may be needed for some substances. Detox should be supervised by qualified medical professionals because withdrawal can be uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous. Detox alone is usually not a complete treatment plan; it is often the first step before therapy and long-term recovery work.

rnrn

A quality treatment center should offer individualized care. Addiction recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Treatment may include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, relapse prevention planning, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, and mental health support.

rnrn

Licensing and accreditation matter. Families should ask whether the facility is licensed in its state and whether staff members are qualified. It is also important to ask about treatment methods, patient safety, staff-to-client ratio, and emergency procedures.

rnrn

Cost is another factor. Some rehab centers accept insurance, while others require private payment. Before admission, ask for a clear explanation of costs, insurance coverage, out-of-pocket expenses, and refund policies.

rnrn

Location can also matter. Some people benefit from being close to family. Others may need distance from unhealthy environments. The right decision depends on the person’s support system and recovery goals.

rnrn

Aftercare is one of the most important parts of treatment. Recovery does not end when a program is completed. A strong discharge plan may include outpatient therapy, support groups, sober living, relapse prevention strategies, and follow-up appointments.
