Harare, ZIMBABWE:

Court papers against the beleaguered Marry Chiwenga wife to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga have revealed that she at one stage attempted to end Chiwenga’s life by denying him medical attention.

The papers make an additional charge of attempted murder on Marry Chiwenga who already has a host of other charges against her.

A Court Affidavit page copy.

Marry arrived at Rotten Row Magistrates’ Court in Harare this morning where she is facing allegations of externalising US$1 million and fraudulently seeking to solemnise her marriage with neither the husband’s knowledge nor consent.

According to a Zacc memo seen by NewsDay, Marry, mentioned as chief executive officer of East Town Holdings and shareholder of a company called Tarnor Investments, externalised close to a million dollars by misrepresentations on proforma invoices before converting the money to personal use.
“During the period extending from October 2018 to May 2019, the accused would instruct Memory Chakuinga, who is the managing director of two South Africa-based companies, namely Falcon Projects (Pvt) Ltd and Bonnette Electrical (Pvt) Ltd, which are based in Pretoria, South Africa, to raise proforma invoices for the purchases of either event tents, chairs and prepaid meters for consumption in Zimbabwe, when in actual fact the accused knew very well that after the funds were transferred to South Africa, she would then divert them for other personal purposes,”
the memo read.

In count one, Marry is said to have sent her driver Carrington Kazingizi and Terrence Mutandwa to China with US$114 000.
The money exited Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport without any declaration being made to the authorities, in contravention of the Exchange Control Act.

In November 2018, Marry allegedly instructed Chakuinga to come up with a proforma for the supply of event tents and chairs, which were then sent to CBZ Bank and also to the accused.
“On December 17, the accused on the strength of the proforma invoice, caused CBZ Bank to transfer US$201 846 through outgoing telegraphic transfer into a Falcon Projects Suppliers (Pvt) Ltd South African FNB Bank account number,”
the memorandum read.
“Instead of the funds being used for the purchase of event tents and chairs, the accused instructed Memory Chakuinga to divert the funds to Range Rover Centre Menyln towards the purchase of the accused’s personal vehicle, a Range Rover Autobiography.”

The vehicle was registered in South Africa under Mubaiwa’s name.
Allegations are that in February 2019, the accused again instructed Chakuinga to come up with a proforma invoice for US$307 545 and diverted the funds to purchasing a house in South Africa, which was registered under the name of a company owned by Marry.

She is also accused of sourcing R3 million from a friend to buy another Range Rover and gave her US$230 769.

Another transaction involving her friend was undertaken, where the accused is said to have externalised more than US$36 923.

Earlier today(Monday) the local Newspaper, 'Daily News' reported that Detectives from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) who arrested Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, Marry Chiwenga nee Mubaiwa, on Saturday, pounced on her while she was in the bathroom and nak_ed.

This was revealed by Marry’s lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa in an interview with the Daily News on Sunday. Said Mtetwa:

“She was in the bathroom in her bedroom when the men suddenly opened the door while she was nak_ed and told her that she was under arrest.

“They searched her bedroom without saying what they were looking for. She was taken to the police.

“After that, they came back to the house and Marry’s mother who had accompanied her to the police was not allowed back into the house. She had her car parked at her daughter’s house.”

Mtetwa further revealed that after her arrest, Marry could not access her medication, with her doctors seemingly afraid of coming to attend to her.

MALARIA VACCINE PROVES HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN BURKINA FASO.

A vaccine against malaria has been shown to be highly effective in trials in Africa, holding out the real possibility of slashing the death toll of a disease that kills 400,000 mostly small children every year. The vaccine, developed by scientists at the Jenner Institute of Oxford University, showed up to 77% efficacy in a trial of 450 children in Burkina Faso over 12 months. The hunt for a malaria vaccine has been going on the best part of a century. One, the Mosquirix vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline, has been through lengthy clinical trials but is only partially effective, preventing 39% of malaria cases and 29% of severe malaria cases among small children in Africa over four years. It is being piloted by the World Health Organization in parts of Kenya, Ghana and Malawi. The Oxford vaccine is the first to meet the WHO goal of 75% efficacy against the mosquito-borne parasite disease. Larger trials are now beginning, involving 4,800 children in four countries.

QUEEN ELIZABETH WANTED PRINCE HARRY HIS WIFE TO LIVE IN AFRICA.

London, ENGLAND: The Queen had reportedly put together a secret plan for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to move to South Africa before they stepped down as senior royals. In his new book Battle of Brothers, biographer Robert Lacey claims Her Majesty suggested the Sussexes take a year or two out in Johannesburg in 2019. The monarch knew how desperate the couple were for an "ordinary" existence and felt something similar to the years she spent in Malta in her youth could do them good. She had tasted "normal" life during her 'Malta Moments' between 1949 and 1951, alongside Prince Philip, who was serving as a naval officer on the Mediterranean island. The future Queen would often fly out to stay with the Duke of Edinburgh, setting her up well for returning home to her duty, explained Mr Lacey. Harry and Meghan are said to have been interested in the move to Africa, where their relationship had previously blossomed, or somewhere else in the Commonwealth. In the p...

SOUTH AFRICAN EFF LEADER COMPARES BLACK PEOPLE WHO CELEBRATE WORLD RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP TO CONGREGANTS WHO DRANK PETROL.

Johannesburg, S. AFRICA: The EFF spokesperson says South Africans must 'stop living a lie' when it comes to racial unity. Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi stuck to his guns regarding tweets about the Springboks' Rugby World Cup victory which have been met with criticism and controversy, in an eNCA interview. After discussing the expulsion of former EFF member Lungile Gabuza from the party, Ndlozi was asked about his recent tweets on the Springboks' World Cup victory. Ndlozi laughed when he was brought up, and then gave his thoughts at length. “We have probably been very misunderstood, we admire the type of black excellence that has been demonstrated by the black players in that white-dominated sport in South Africa, the white-dominated team. "We celebrate them on the basis that it's black excellence like we do black people who do exceptionally well." However, Ndlozi added: "There is a pr...

Vahit Tuna, the creator of the shoe project, said it is dedicated to the 440 women murdered by their male partners or relatives last year.

GAMBIA ACCUSES EX-PRESIDENT SUPPORTERS OF SHELTERING REBELS.

Yahya Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh (born 25 May 1965) is a Gambian politician and former military officer who was the leader of the Gambia from 1994 to 2017, firstly as chair of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC) (1994–96) and then as President of the Gambia (1996-2017). The Gambia’s new government has accused supporters of the former president, Yahya Jammeh, of welcoming foreign rebels into their homes in an attempt to destabilise the country. Residents of Foni, the Gambian region where Jammeh had a vast farm and allegedly“bunkers and treasure”, have been hosting members of a rebel group that for three decades have been fighting for the secession of their region from Senegal. Giving them a safe haven in the Gambia threatens to upset relations with Senegal, which surrounds the tiny west African country on three sides, and was instrumental in ejecting a recalcitrant Jammeh after he lost the presidential election for the first time in his 22 years in ...

SOUTH AFRICA EFF PARTY LEADER SUFFERS A FATAL DEFEAT IN HIGH COURT.

Pretoria, SOUTH AFRICA: It was a dull and disappointing day , after the EFF leader Julius Malema’s legal challenge to have the Riotous Assemblies Act of 1956 declared unconstitutional, was on Tuesday removed from the roll in the Gauteng High Court Pretoria. The matter was on the opposed motion roll and scheduled to be heard this week, but Judge Sulet Potterill removed it so that the parties could approach Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba for another court date. This is because arguments are expected to run into more than one court day and a special judge had to be allocated to hear the matter. Malema faces criminal charges of allegedly contravening the Riotous Assemblies Act after calling for land invasions. In 2014 during the party’s elective conference in Bloemfontein, Malema told his party members that they should occupy the land. In June 2016, he told supporters in Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal to occupy land as it belonged to the black people. He earlier ...
