“Court will not take your application into consideration since you have not been paying the amount agreed, leaving you in arrears.
“…Look after your child and pay all what is due or face arrest,” said Magistrate Marufu.
Billiat left the court in the hands of police and he had to plead with them to be set free and settle the arrears through an electronic transfer.
He was given the chance to settle the ‘debt’ and was released.
