Another soldier, Boswell Magwizi, faces civil imprisonment after failing to pay a B Munemo $2 021 over a debt which he accrued in July last year.
Magwizi hired a vehicle belonging to Munemo and has been evading paying the debt.
He faces imprisonment of up to 90 days if he fails to settle the debt by the time the MoC gets hold of him.
According to entries by the MoC, Magwizi has been evading arrest since June last year and several visits to 5.2 Infantry Battalion have not yielded any results.
