Marry Chiwenga is asking the courts for an order forcing her estranged husband and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to allow her access to their three children and matrimonial home in Harare’s Borrowdale suburb.
According to papers filed at the High Court on Thursday by her lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, Marry said after she was granted bail on Monday, she was barred from accessing her matrimonial home at number 614 Nick Price Drive, Borrowdale Brooke and children by soldiers from the Presidential Guard.
Marry was granted bail, after spending almost a month in remand prison, on Monday on a litany of charges including externalizing cash, attempting to kill Chiwenga, corruption and other charges
Marry said the soldiers, led by a Lieutenant Colonel Mangezi told her that they had strict instructions from Chiwenga not to let anyone in and out of the premises without his express permission.
Mtetwa said Chiwenga’s conduct was in violation of a court order granting Marry bail part of whose conditions were that she stays at her matrimonial home until her case is concluded by the courts.
