Zimbabwean midfielder Kudakwashe Mahachi has been acquitted of a case in which he was accused of having burnt his 4 year old son.
Mahachi was accused of burning his son and practicing rituals after pictures circulated on social media of his son in a bad condition.
He was taken to court by the boys mother shortly afterwards and has been battling in the courts for the last 7 months.
According to reports, his South African club Supersport United terminated his contract shortly after the news came out leaving him jobless.
Mahachi was aquitted a few days ago and was found that he had never abused the boy.
The player took to Social Media shortly after the ruling and poured his heart out and said it was dissapointing that he had been judged on social media without people knowing the facts.
Mahachi says his son has a rare flesh eating condition which was worsened after he returned to Bulawayo from visiting his father in South Africa.
He said his sister’s who stayed at his house in Bulawayo neglected the boy and only took him to hospital when the condition worsened which made it look like he had been burnt.
Mahachi found it Surpising how people could accuse him of using his son for rituals to further his career when the lad was just 4 years old and questioned how he had succeeded for 11 years before his son was born.
He also said that he has lost it all and currently has no money after spending his savings on court bills and that he also went through depression.
The talented midfielder who is currently clubless says no club was interested in him during the period.
Mahachi however thanked everyone who stood by him during the trying period.
