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.

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.
“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.
