Estranged wife takes aim at VP

Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga has come under fire from his estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa, who accuses him of denying her access to her children. ‘What kind of a father denies his children which he claims to love the right to be with their mother and vice-versa? Where is God when you need him?’ she tweeted. Mubaiwa he was declared mentally unfit to retain custody of their three minor children last year. She was also accused of attempting to kill Chiwenga while he was in a hospital in SA, but the charges were dismissed. New Zimbabwe reports that she has also been charged with improperly converting Zimbabwe dollars into foreign currency, as well as money-laundering and fraud. Mubaiwa's husband is a retired military general who masterminded the coup that brought Robert Mugabe's rule to a dramatic end in November 2017.
