A WARRANT of arrest has been issued against Presidential spokesman Parks Mankahlana after he failed to turn up for a child maintenance hearing in Mpumalanga. Mankahlana had denied fathering a child by Thalitha Mthethwa nine years ago, but a paternity test proved he was the father. Mthethwa, a teacher, and Mankahlana lived together for two years in KaNyamazane before he moved to Johannesburg in 1990. Mankahlana recently reached an out-of-court settlement in July with EC Wallace, the mother of his 11-year-old daughter. – African Eye News Service
