Justice Minister is divorcing his wife of 27 years saying
the union was now a shell.
Minister Ziyambi has for the past seven years, been
estranged from his wife Florence Ziyambi, nee Mhizha, a lawyer and former
deputy Prosecutor-General.
He filed his papers at the High Court and argues that the
marriage is just a shell as they have not shared conjugal rights since then.
The couple has two adult children.
“Since then, the parties have developed diverging interests
and have become incompatible and have lost all love and affection for each
other.
The couple acquired movable property and the minister
strongly feels it is just and equitable that upon divorce, each party retains
the movable property in his or her possession.
The immovable property which the plaintiff wants
distributed includes houses in Westlea and St Martins suburbs in Harare both
registered in Minister Ziyambi’s name and a house in Bluffhill, Harare,
registered in his estranged wife’s name.
The Minister wants the Westlea house to be awarded
to one of their daughters, Chido Maureen Ziyambi, while the couple retains
ownership of the immovable properties registered in their respective names.
Mrs Ziyambi is yet to respond to the application and has 10
days to file her response to the divorce motion.
