Marry Mubaiwa was forced to court on a stretcher on Monday afternoon.

Her lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa told ZimEye: “Well, in the morning magistrate Nduna issued warrants for her arrest for not coming to court, despite being told that she is unwell.

“Magistrate Butabwashe refused to issue a warrant of arrest and said we can make the arrangements that we have since made, and she has now been remanded to the end of January.

“If she is well enough to stand trial, we hope she comes for trial back[sic] on the assault charge.

“On the two earlier charges for which she was arrested in December last year, the state still says it is conducting its investigation. Of course COVID is being used as an excuse now that they are doing extra territorial investigations, yet when the matter first went to court, they said they had done those investigations.

“And it then shows how our justice system works: You arrest first and investigate later. If there were investigations to be done in SA they ought to have been done before she was arrested, so that they arrest her on the basis of information that they already have.

“So you can see what? You can’t say they had evidence when they arrested her if a year later they are still looking for evidence.”
