Mary Mubaiwa, the estranged wife of Zimbabwe’s vice-president Constantino Chiwenga, has been charged with attempted murder of the former military general.
According to the state, on June 22 this year Chiwenga was airlifted to Pretoria - but instead of going to hospital, he was booked in and given medicine at the Sheraton Hotel, where he stayed for a day.
It is alleged Mubaiwa was determined for Chiwenga not to go to hospital, but his security detail moved in swiftly and he was admitted at a Netcare hospital the following day. Chiwenga spent weeks at the medical facility, where he was given an intravenous drip so that fluids, medication and blood products could be administered.On July 8, it is alleged that around 8pm, Mubaiwa went to the hospital and told her estranged husband’s security to give them privacy. It was then that, according to the state, she “unlawfully removed the medical intravenous giving set as well as the central venus catheter".
