BUSINESSMAN Frank Buyanga Thursday staged a movie style ‘kidnap’ of his minor son from the hands of the mother in yet another dramatic episode to a raging child custody wrangle he has been having with his ex.
Buyanga was allegedly being accompanied by two men armed with guns when he staged the ‘heist’ outside a Spar Supermarket in Harare’s Waterfalls suburb.
Video footage captured from the supermarket’s CCTV shows a white twin-cab partly obscured by a commuter omnibus pull behind the car followed by the seizure of the minor.
Shocked onlookers watch the experience unfold as the twin-cab speeds off immediately.
Munyaradzi Bwanya, lawyer to Buyanga’s ex, Chantelle Muteswa who is also the child’s mother, confirmed police were now hunting for the South African based tycoon.
During the incident, Muteswa was allegedly assaulted by one of Buyanga’s aides.
Muteswa was in the company of another woman whose relationship to her could not be established.
“The case has been reported and the police are making frantic efforts to locate the suspect,” Bwanya said.
