VP’s ex-wife gets trial date

THE trial of Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga’s estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa, who is facing an assault charge, has been moved to October 18 to allow her to recuperate from an illness.

Prosecutor Michael Reza yesterday also successfully requested the postponement of another matter on Mubaiwa, where she is accused of attempting to kill Chiwenga.

Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje set November 1, 2021 as the possible trial date.
