Zimbabwe VP’s wife denied access to children

A high court in Zimbabwe has dismissed an application by the estranged wife of the country’s vice president to have access to the couple’s home and their children.

Marry Mubaiwa, the wife of Gen Constatino Chiwenga, had been seeking to visit to her home and children since her release on bail on 6th January.

She was initially arrested in December and charged with attempting to murder her husband, as well as taking part in fraud and money laundering.

Under the terms of her bail she was ordered to surrender her diplomatic passport and the title deeds of a property registered in her father’s name.

Ms Mubaiwa was then ordered to live in her parents’ house until her case was heard.
