VP Chiwenga’s wife, Mary was not in Wedza yesterday for the
general’s homecoming party, sparking yet more frenzied speculation into the
state of their marriage.
Mary was also not at the Robert Mugabe International
Airport to welcome her husband on his return from China. The Standard reports that Chiwenga, who returned
to Zimbabwe on November 23 after spending over four months at a Chinese
hospital, did not mention Mary’s name in his 25-minute long address to his
relatives and church leaders that attended yesterday’s event in Wedza.
This followed reports that the former army commander dumped
his wife while on his sickbed under unclear circumstances.
Chiwenga said people that stood by him during his illness
were Health and Child Care minister John Mangwiro, who accompanied him to India
and South Africa as well as China.
He also mentioned some of his close security details and a
female nurse employed by the army. There are people who stood by me during all
these days when I was battling sickness,” he said.
“Deputy minister Mangwiro, who is not here today was there
for me till the end.”
