Marry Mubaiwa, the ex-wife of Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga, has filed for a permanent stay of prosecution in the case where she faces attempted murder charges. The application was submitted on Monday before Harare regional magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka.
Mubaiwa is accused of attempting to kill Chiwenga by allegedly unplugging his life support system at a South African hospital.
In previous hearings, Dr John Mangwiro, a former deputy health minister, testified that Chiwenga’s condition worsened whenever Mubaiwa entered his room, claiming she had such control that she could manage who had access to him and even refused medical treatment for him at one point.
Mubaiwa, who has been battling lymphoedema for over four years, has already lost her right hand and left leg due to the illness.
Her health has continued to deteriorate, and she has been hospitalised frequently. She has had to be brought to court on a stretcher and in an ambulance in the past, and on Monday, she was wheeled into the courtroom.
Her lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa, argued that the excessive delay in the criminal proceedings and Mubaiwa’s deteriorating health made it unjust to continue the prosecution.
Mtetwa further criticised the justice system, calling it “callous, inhumane, and lacking empathy,” especially given the visible signs of Mubaiwa’s severe illness.
Mtetwa added that it would be impossible for Mubaiwa to effectively instruct her legal team, suggesting that staying the prosecution would be in the interests of justice. A similar request had also been made at the High Court. Said Mtetwa (via <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/marry-mubaiwa-seeks-stay-of-trial-due-to-deteriorating-health/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
Applicant cannot fully enjoy the right to a fair hearing which I am advised includes the right to be physically and mentally capable to follow the full proceedings, the capacity to give instructions to one’s legal representative throughout the proceedings and if put on her defence, the right to cogently testify on the issues raised in evidence and to generally give her version of events.
I am able to say that the applicant is currently unable to fully exercise all of those rights due to all the issues I have raised above.
In particular, I point out that with regard to the money laundering case, the State papers were provided to the defence when the applicant was already on heavy medication, had already lost a limb and was trying to avert the loss of her leg.
Consequently, she has been unable to give instructions on the documents supplied by the State in November 2023 with the result that her legal team only has general instructions from the period of her arrest when no document had been provided save for the general allegations given on remand.
</blockquote>
Lancelot Mutsokoti, representing the State, stated that they would abide by the High Court’s ruling regarding a similar application made by Mubaiwa.
Magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka is scheduled to deliver her ruling on the request on November 22.

Marry Mubaiwa wants to stop the trial for trying to hurt her ex-husband, who is the Vice-President. She said the trial is not fair because she is very sick and can't understand everything. Her lawyer said it was not right to continue the case because of her health. The decision will be made on November 22. The court will follow the ruling made by the High Court. Mubaiwa's health has been getting worse, and she has lost her hand and leg. She has to go to court in an ambulance because she is very sick.

Marry Mubaiwa Seeks Permanent Stay Of Prosecution In Attempted Murder Case

The trial of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s ex-wife, Marry Mubaiwa on an attempted murder charge, failed to start on Thursday after she fell sick and vomited in the dock.
Mubaiwa’s lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa then asked for the postponement of the matter to 13 March.
However, prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti insisted on going to trial saying he had to call off his official leave to prosecute the matter.
Mtetwa told Harare magistrate Florence Chakanyuka that Mubaiwa was not fit to stand trial, but had no medical affidavit to support her argument. She said, as quoted by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200007547/chiwengas-ex-wife-vomits-in-court-trial-deferred">NewsDay</a>:
<blockquote>
She is not fit to stand trial. You said a medical report is required, but she does not have the medical report because the doctors are afraid of VP Chiwenga, who happens to be the Health minister.
Look, she is sleeping in the dock. You can have a physical inspection of the dock and if you’re quite happy to see her as being fit, then we can proceed to trial. This is not our creation.
We have a judgment concerning that a fair trial includes accused persons being in a state of mind that allows him or her to concentrate.
Ironically, the case law involved the same accused where your brother magistrate Ngoni Nduna insisted she goes through a trial when she is unwell, and this is a breach of the right to a fair trial.
She cannot follow the proceedings. With due respect, it is a clear breach of the Constitution which requires that there be equality for the law as section 56 of the Constitution states.
</blockquote>
The matter was remanded to this Friday for trial.

Marry Mubaiwa Vomits In Court, Trial Deferred

Marry Mubaiwa, the former wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, said she is in great pain and her health was deteriorating.
Mubaiwa (40) told the Sunday Times in an exclusive interview that she is penniless and has no home and people must not be surprised if she committed suicide. She said:
<blockquote>
I am not well at all and I feel that if I had gone out of the country to seek better treatment I would be better, but the court refused to give me my passport as part of bail conditions.
… I stay at my parents’ home because I have nothing. I don’t have a house and even a car, so I am under my parents’ care.
I have a well-equipped clinic which I had built from my personal funds in Domboshava [outside Harare] but I was blocked from accessing it.
</blockquote>
She suffers from lymphoedema, a disease that causes the limbs to swell.
Mubaiwa had her arm amputated after a court forbade her from travelling to South Africa for medical treatment.
She said she has not been allowed to see or speak to her children — aged between eight and 11 — for three years. Said Mubaiwa:
<blockquote>
Especially not seeing my children is very painful for me. Sometimes I start having thoughts of committing suicide — and don’t be surprised [if I do]. I have not spoken to my kids and I have not seen them since 2019.
In a couple of days, it will be my daughter’s and my son’s birthdays. I have not spoken to them even over the phone.
My lawyers have written to [Chiwenga’s] lawyers many times for me to get access to my children but that has not helped.
Our children have nothing to do with what is happening between us … These are young children.
I always ask myself what he says to them about me. These are kids who need their mother.
I spent nights and days crying, asking God: ‘Why did you let this happen to me?’ Everything I am accused of, I didn’t do it.
Right now, I am so sick. I am having challenges with my legs that are swollen and so painful and the doctors told me after the amputation of my right arm that my body has too much fluid.
</blockquote>
Last week, Mubaiwa was acquitted on charges of assaulting her children’s nanny, Delight Munyoro, by a Harare magistrate.
However, she will appear in court at the end of the month on a charge of attempted murder.
In April, she was found guilty of marriage fraud and sentenced by the Harare Magistrate’s Court to a year in jail, reduced because of ill health to a fine of ZWL$60,000 Zimbabwe.
Mubaiwa was found to have forged Chiwenga’s signature on documents that upgraded their marriage from a customary one to a civil union.
She also faces charges of money laundering and violating exchange control laws for which she is still standing trial. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/mary-mubaiwa-wishes-chiwenga-and-new-wife-all-the-happiness-in-the-world-ex-model-talks-of-suicide-says-destitute-depressed-and-desperate-to-see-her-children/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

Marry Mubaiwa Says She Is Penniless And In Pain, Desperate To See Her Children

Marry Mubaiwa was on Monday remanded to 31 October by Harare magistrate Learnmore Mapiwe from her hospital bed in a case she is accused of assaulting her children’s maid.
Mubaiwa, who is Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s ex-wife, is battling a chronic illness and had her arm amputated last week and is still hospitalised.
Her lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa said that Mubaiwa was not fit to stand trial in her current state of health.
Prosecutors told the court that on 26 January 2020, the maid, Delight Munyoro, went to Hellenic Primary School in Borrowdale to collect Mubaiwa’s child.
It is further alleged that as Munyoro was waiting for the child at the gate, the family driver, Batsirayi Furukiya, went to collect the child and she remained seated in the vehicle.
When the driver was walking with the child to where the vehicle was parked, Mubaiwa allegedly followed behind him and started accusing Munyoro of telling her child not to like her.
It is alleged that Mubaiwa told Munyoro that she was a witch and slapped her on her left cheek using the back of her left hand as she was sitting in the car.
Several witnesses have so far testified in the matter, and Mubaiwa’s application for discharge was dismissed by the courts.
Mtetwa has on several occasions accused the State and the courts of receiving instructions from Chiwenga to persecute Mubaiwa. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200000755/chiwengas-amputated-ex-wife-remanded-in-hospital">NewsDay</a>

VP Chiwenga's Ill Ex-wife Remanded In Hospital

Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s former wife, Marry Mubaiwa, was on Wednesday assisted into the courtroom in a wheelchair at the Harare magistrates court.
Mubaiwa’s ambulance was barred from entering court premises and she was also denied entry into the courtroom on a stretcher.
Her lawyers, Beatrice Mtetwa and Douglas Coltart had to scrounge for a wheelchair before their client was taken to a courtroom.
Mubaiwa reportedly winced in pain as her wheelchair was forced through uneven pavements to court 18, where magistrate Feresi Chakanyuka presided over the hearing.
She is facing a charge of assaulting a maid, Delight Munyoro, at Hellenic School in Borrowdale, Harare, in 2020.
The case was postponed to September 19 after it emerged that the presiding magistrate on the case was absent.
The State alleges that Mubaiwa assaulted Munyoro, following an altercation over the custody of her children with Chiwenga.
Last week, a magistrate slapped Mubaiwa with an arrest warrant after she failed to make it up the stairs to a courtroom where the case was being heard.
Mtetwa successfully sought cancellation of the arrest warrant after arguing that the default was not willful.

VP Chiwenga's Ill Former Wife Wheeled Into Courtroom

Former Warriors striker Shingi Kawondera says he still loves his ex-wife, Marry Mubaiwa, wholeheartedly despite their separation 10 years ago.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Zim Morning Post a day after he visited Marry in hospital, Kawondera said they never divorced but only separated. He said:
<blockquote>
We were both relieved to see each other. I think we were missing each other. Remember we never really got divorced?
We were separated, not that we are planning on reconciliation but my personal belief is we shouldn’t fight after divorce because in the end we are all somewhat related and we still have family gatherings to meet bound together by our daughter Destiny.
</blockquote>
Kawondera revealed that the late Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure was his friend and was in fact, the match marker to their marriage which produced their now 13-year old daughter, Destiny. He said:
<blockquote>
We discussed a lot akandibata mawoko aGinimbi (she extended her condolences over Genius’s death).
She said sorry about your son Ginimbi, she said he (Ginimbi) used to respect her because of me.
It was like we last met yesterday! As if it had not been a decade since our last meeting
We talked about Destiny our only daughter together and how she is doing well at school and how she looks like me.
She showed me her pictures and some places they visited like Dubai, France and so on.
</blockquote>
The Warriors legend said Marry doesn’t deserve the negative treatment she is receiving from the media and justice delivery system.
Marry, who married Vice President Constantino Chiwenga after her separation from Kawondera, is currently bedridden due to her rare medical condition.
According to medical experts, Marry requires treatment abroad but has been blocked from travelling outside the country by the courts and is now facing the prospect of having her arm amputated. Added Kawondera:
<blockquote>
She doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment, especially the media abuse. We all make mistakes and who are we to judge people?
The Marry I last saw in Cyprus is the same Marry l saw on Wednesday; a loving, caring, and spiritual woman- a woman who knows there is God. She got carried away a bit but who wouldn’t?
</blockquote>
Kawondera, who played football in Cyprus during his heyday, declared he still loves Marry even without sexual intimacy. He said:
<blockquote>
I don’t believe in those divorce stories. As far as I am concerned, our marriage was never terminated, and as a Rasta(sic), or an aspiring Rasta, I believe if you take an oath in court and swear to love someone, you should love them till death do you part (sic).
Love is not only sexual. I still love Marry with all my heart, if she needs any of my body parts (laughs), I’m willing to give.
What l mean is love is more than sex or even living together l have been loving her ever since we separated. I never stopped loving her.
We may not get back together again but l will always love her for Destiny’s sake.

'We Never Divorced', Shingi Kawondera Declares 'Undying' Love For Marry

Marry Chiwenga has said she sought the help of Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commander Philip Valerio Sibanda in her dispute with her husband, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga after the latter unleashed soldiers to terrorise her.
Marry told The NewsHawks reporter Bridget Mananavire that she reached out to General Sibanda after soldiers started to meddle in her domestic affairs.
The former model claimed that armed soldiers came to her offices and intimidated her workers causing them to run away in terror.
Marry also said soldiers recently broke down her Highlands office wall after they had ransacked her offices and took bank statements, contracts, invoices of things and took other personal documents.
Responding to a question on whether she had tried engaging the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) or their commander to find out why soldiers are being used in a domestic matter, Marry said:
<blockquote>Yes, we have before. And even now I have written him ( ZDF commander Phillip Valerio Sibanda) a letter.
My lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa, also wrote to them before. I have also written to (ZDF commander Philip Valerio) PV Sibanda which we were typing, to say your soldiers continue to terrorise my office because the Vice-President doesn’t have soldiers, the soldiers serve under PV so they belong to him.
I said to him your military personnel continue to terrorise my office, to terrorise me and they continue to loot my things, what is going on? Why all this intimidation?
Why are you doing this to me or to my office? Why are you doing it? For what reason? So, 
we’ve engaged him, but he has not responded.</blockquote>
Marry also said she appealed to President Emmerson Mnangagwa so that she could get a new passport to enable her to travel to South Africa for medical care.
This came after judges refused to release her passport which is being held as part of her bail conditions. She said:
<blockquote>… I asked the President to give me another passport so that I can get medical attention. He said he was going to secure a passport for me and money to go and get medical attention, but it’s out of the window.
As you can see, I am still here. I am still very much in pain. I am still suffering. Medically, not much has happened.</blockquote>

Marry Chiwenga Engages Army Commander Over Harassment By Soldiers

Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s estranged wife, Marry, has warned him that power does not last forever, alleging that he is using his political muscle to persecute her since their marriage became strained in 2019.
Posting on Twitter, Marry accused Chiwenga of hypocrisy for taking part in Roman Catholic “Mass” while he denies her access to their children.
Marry also accused her husband of having her thrown into prison and further claimed that Zimbabwe’s judiciary is being compromised. <a href="https://twitter.com/MarryMubaiwa/status/1367339443825295363" rel="noopener" target="_blank">She wrote:</a>
<blockquote>When you receive holy communion and lie to God about your intentions and you abuse the children you say you love by denying them access to their mother for 17months, who are you fooling, is God silent to HYPOCRITES. The Beast and the Abused.
I miss my children so much, 17months I have been shut out completely, subjected to imprisonment by my husband to keep me away, the judiciary is compromised…these are young children…power is not permanent.</blockquote>

In 2020, the High Court dismissed Marry’s application to have her bail conditions relaxed so that she could go to South Africa to seek medical treatment.
She is suffering from an ailment that causes swelling of her hands and legs.
The former model has since filed an application at the Supreme Court against Justice Chikowero dismissing her appeal last year.

'Power Is Not Permanent', Marry Warns VP Chiwenga

SABC News tonight will give an update on Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga’s health. This was revealed in a Twitter post by an SABC firebrand journalist Sophie Mokoena who said in a tweet:
<blockquote>Today we will bring you the update on health condition Marry Chiwenga. Watch <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" data-focusable="true" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/sabcnews?src=hashtag_click" role="link">#sabcnews</a> channel 404 at 8pm tonight.</blockquote>
This came after Marry’s health issues headlined after photos of her wounded hands circulated on social media. Marry’s health condition drew sympathy from many people including <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/12/08/kaondera-rallies-nation-to-pray-for-marry-chiwenga/">her ex-husband Shingi Kaondera who rallied the nation</a> to pray for her in a post that said:
<blockquote>May we all pray for Mary (sic), may God revive her spirit, may she live to see the wedding of our first daughter Destiny. I believe in you Mai D you are stronger than any disease or any court case they can’t afford your peace.</blockquote>
Marry as of last week was also unable to seek medical treatment in South Africa because CBZ Bank froze her bank accounts a move that according to her lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa the bank was not supposed to initiate because they have no legal basis to do so.

Marry Mubaiwa Sets Up A Twitter Account To Pour Her Heart Out

The two warrants of arrest issued on Monday morning against Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s estranged wife Marry Chiwenga have been cancelled at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts.
A visibly unwell Chiwenga was brought to court in an ambulance on Monday afternoon after her no-show in the morning prompted Magistrate Ngoni Nduna to issue out the two warrants of arrest.
Marry’s lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa told the court in the morning that her client was not well and couldn’t make it to court and asked the court to remand her in absentia.
However, magistrate Ngoni Nduna said an administrative warrant would only have been possible if she was in the hospital.
Chiwenga is facing charges of attempted murder, money laundering, and assaulting a family maid.
Images of Marry seated in a chair and on a drip sparked outrage on social media. Veteran lawyer David Coltart tweeted:
<blockquote>The manner in which Mrs Chiwenga was treated this afternoon- hauled before a magistrate demonstrably ill, on a drip, attended by nurses – is utterly shameful.
This is a shocking travesty of justice. The magistrate should be disciplined – [Law Society of Zimbabwe] speak up, please.</blockquote>
Renowned journalist Violet Gonda also tweeted:
<blockquote>This is happening as we commemorate the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. A visibly unwell Marry Chiwenga was wheeled out of an ambulance into court.
[Joana Mamombe] and co had similar experiences. This is more than systemic abuse of women. It’s dehumanising and degrading.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Mtetwa told the court that Marry is set to travel outside the country for medical attention and applied that the matter is set for January 28 to enable her time to recover and seek medical attention.

WATCH: Sickly Marry Chiwenga Stretchered To Magistrates' Court

Vice President Constantino Chiwenga packed her estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa’s property and dumped it at her offices in Eastlea, Harare on Friday.
The property was taken from the couple’s Borrowdale Brooke mansion and driven to Marry’s offices by soldiers who were led by Lieutenant Colonel Hove and another senior military officer only identified as Lawayo.
An insider close to the developments told The Standard that the soldiers who numbered about 40, allegedly said they were working under the former Zimbabwe Defence Forces commander. Said the insider:
<blockquote>Chiwenga’s team arrived at around 5:30 pm and that was already after business hours so most people were not around.
There were about 40 of them in a lorry driven by one Zengeni.
They claimed the Vice-President was coming with the other property.
This was meant to instil fear in the two guards who were at the premises.
We are all shocked at Chiwenga’s decision to dump the property at the offices when he knows where Marry stays.</blockquote>
The property included three top-of-the-range vehicles, plates, clothes, blankets and kitchen utensils.
The vehicles included an unregistered Ford Ranger Wildtrak, a Range Rover and a Kia.
Marry was reportedly away from the offices when the property was dumped as she is said to be gravely sick.
Chiwenga and Marry have been living separately since last year, with the VP now staying at a Chinese hotel in Harare.

Chiwenga Clears Marry's Property, Dumps It At Her Offices

Local water delivery company Hesno Holdings Private Limited trading as Water To You has taken Marry Chiwenga to court after she failed to settle her water bill of $6000, New Zimbabwe reports. According to court papers seen by the publication, Marry has not indicated any willingness to settle her water bill which is just above US$6000:
<blockquote>Plaintiff and defendant entered into an agreement of sale in terms of which the plaintiff would supply water and the defendant would pay for the water supplied. The plaintiff is in possession of two detailed invoices of the quantity of water supplied and the total amount which is overdue.
Despite several demands, defendant has failed, refused and or neglected to make payments. Wherefore, plaintiff prays for payment in the sum of US$6 055 being outstanding balance for the water supplied, an order for interest on the said sum at the prescribed rate per annum from the date of issue of summons to date of final payment.</blockquote>
The case is yet to be heard before the court.

Water Company Takes Marry Chiwenga To Court Over $6000 Water Debt

The trial of Marry Chiwenga, the estranged wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga on assault charges was postponed on Tuesday because some witnesses travelled to their rural homes just before the commencement of the national lockdown.
The State proposed to postpone the case to June 20 but it was revealed that Chiwenga had already been booked for surgery for June, therefore, the trial was deferred to July 27.
Chiwenga’s lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa confirmed the development, saying her client was supposed to undergo surgery for injuries sustained in the Bulawayo blast at White City Stadium in 2018. Said Mtetwa:
<blockquote>Your Worship, it is correct that today (yesterday) was the day for trial commencement, but we were told that witnesses are not available.
The State had proposed a new date that is June 20, but my client is supposed to undergo an operation during the same month.
The operation is due to the injuries she sustained during the Bulawayo blast. Also by June 20, she would not have fully recovered.</blockquote>
Chiwenga was arrested earlier this for allegedly assaulting a family helper, Delight Munyoro, at Hellenic School in Borrowdale following an altercation over the custody of children.

Vice President Constantino <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/24/full-text-vp-chiwenga-appeals-against-high-court-judgment/">Chiwenga has appealed at the Supreme Court</a> against a High Court judgment which ordered him, among other things to allow his estranged wife, Mary Mubaiwa-Chiwenga access to the couple’s Borrodale home and custody of children.
The appeal means that the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/24/breaking-high-court-verdict-on-vp-chiwenga-marrys-wrangle-over-custody-of-children-and-access-to-borrowdale-home/">High Court judgment giving victory to the former model</a> is now suspended until appeal.
The wrangle for the custody of children, access to properties will therefore continue and the VP will continue to lock Marry outside of their Borrowdale home until the court has given a verdict.

The Meaning Of VP Chiwenga's Appeal Against High Court Ruling

Acting President Chiwenga is reportedly in a fix after his estranged wife rejected an out of court settlement in favour of letting the court settle the issues between them, Zim Morning Post reports.
According to a source close to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Marry_Chiwenga">Marry Chiwenga</a>‘s defence council:
<blockquote>Marry is in a no nonsense mood and would want the matter to be settled in court.
The applicant is the one who brought the issue to the courts so there is no need for it to be settled out of courts
What has now changed that the applicant feels the issue can be resolved without the courts? He (Chiwenga) was ill-advised and Marry is only playing her part as the respondent.
Unless something major happens this morning (Monday), Marry has since last Friday indicated to her defence counsel that she will not accept an out of court settlement</blockquote>
The former power couple is embroiled in a divorce case that has seen <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/15/vp-chiwenga-reveals-the-bizarre-reason-why-he-took-the-children-away-from-marry/">witchcraft allegations being thrown around as the VP defends taking Marry’s children from her. </a>

Marry Chiwenga Remanded Till 14 January

The estranged husband of Vice President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Constantino_Chiwenga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Constantino Chiwenga</a>, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Marry_Chiwenga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marry Chiwenga</a> (nee Mubaiwa) faces a lengthy period in jail if convicted on charges of breaching Exchange Control regulations, fraud and money laundering, and murder allegations she is facing.
In opposing bail for Marry, prosecutor Albert Masamha told the court that the offence of fraud attracts up to 35 years, while Money Laundering provides for imprisonment for up to 25 years. He said:
<blockquote>Releasing the applicant on bail is, therefore, likely to jeopardise and erode public confidence in the justice system.
… it is the respondent’s submission that the sentence for attempted murder is also severe in the event the applicant is convicted.
The offence of fraud provides for imprisonment not exceeding 35 years, whilst Section 8 (8) of the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act, Chapter 9:24 provides for imprisonment not exceeding 25 years.</blockquote>
Marry has been in remand prison ever since she first appeared in court nearly two weeks ago.
On Friday, the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/High_Court_of_Zimbabwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">High Court</a> postponed her bail application and appeal hearings to Tuesday next week.

Kaondera told Zim Morning Post on Friday that he invested money into their business while he was in Cyprus where he played professional football. Said the former Warriors striker:
<blockquote>Wangu, when I met her (Marry) she was a struggling model.
Of course, she came from a well up family but I was on fire, ndaipisa wangu and I invested in a business that I thought was ours.
I poured in money for her to start a business, we had a vision of Lachelle Company where we wanted to do boutiques and travel services and she took over because I was in Cyprus.
She is a good woman but her rich background pushes her to maintain her status and she can do anything.</blockquote>
Kaondera has sued Marry for US$700 000 accusing her of forging his signature and deceiving a court to grant her a divorce while he was in Cyprus.
He said Marry fraudulently obtained the divorce as he was never served with a divorce summons.
