Joice Dube | Mary Chiwenga is missing from the public eye, fuelling speculation that all is not well between her and husband General Constantino Chiwenga.

The general’s close family and friends gathered in his rural home Wedza, Saturday, to welcome him back home, after he spent several months in China where he was receiving medical treatment.

Upon his return home, last Saturday, Chiwenga was met at the airport by the Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe and close family and friends, Mary his wife was nowhere in site.

Chiwenga has made other public appearances which include the inspection of the new parliament building, which is being constructed by Shanghai Construction Group, through a grant from the Chinese government.

Speculation has been rife, with several theories being put forward as to why the ‘second First Lady’ was missing from the public eye, with some advancing conspiracy theories on her role regarding her husband’s health.

Socialite William Gerald Mutumanje was equally concerned , “Are we really all going to act like we didn’t notice kuti Mary was not at the Airport to recieve her husband, neither was she at home pauya vaenzi? Rega nditaurire hangu.”

Other theories being advanced, claim that the general did not take kindly to Mary pushing him to formalise their marriage while he was on his ‘death bed.’

It is also reported that the increasingly paranoid general, while still in China had fired his close security from the dreaded Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), also ordering his wife Mary to return home.

Speaking at the Wedza bash Chiwenga instead thanked his boss ZANU PF President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, for his ‘brotherly love’, and Zimbabweans in general for praying for him, no mention made of his likely estranged wife Mary.
