Ex-Warriors player Edzai Kasinauyo today officially split with his wife after the High Court endorsed the end of their 12-year marriage.

Justice Alfas Chitakunye put to bed the marriage with the consent of both parties. Faith Esthma Kasinauyo nee Makoni had filed for divorce in the higher court pleading irreconcilable differences.

The couple agreed to settle for divorce without going to trial in a case in which Kasinauyo will enjoy the rights to visit his two children while property will be shared.

In her motion for divorce, Makoni stated that the marriage was irretrievably broken and there were no prospects for restoration. The couple, she said, had not been relishing marital privileges for a period in excess of six months.

According to the deed of settlement, Makoni will keep custody of their two children while Kasinauyo was granted visitation rights on agreed days.

He will contribute $500 in maintenance per child every month and will also be responsible for paying their school fees and clothing until completion of tertiary education.

Kasinauyo will retain his Greenstone property in South Africa, while Makoni retained a Chadcombe property in Harare, but the latter will be registered in the children’s names.

Makoni also consented to transfer her 50 percent shareholding and resign from her position as director in Fejay Investments (Pvt) Limited.

The parties further agreed that Kasinauyo will pay Makoni $20 000 over 20 months to bear own costs.
