Jane Mlambo| Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has refused to accept the High Court decision to award custody of the couple’s children to his estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa.

Chiwenga has has since filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the ruling made by High Court judge Christopher Dube-Banda late last week.

Chiwenga was ordered to return the couple’s three minor children to the custody of Marry as well as allowing his estranged wife access to the couple’s sumptuous matrimonial home in Borrowdale and three high-end luxury cars.

The ruling was made after Chiwenga allegedly threw Marry out of the couple’s home and ordered armed soldiers to bar her and to prevent her from entering the premises.

Chiwenga also took custody of the couple’s children after Marry was arrested by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) on a myriad of charges which include numerous counts of money laundering, externalisation, fraudulently solemnizing a customary marriage while the powerful vice President was bedridden.

She is also facing the rather serious charge of attempting to murder the Vice President when he was critically ill in South Africa.
