Reports just received indicate that CBZ Bank has arbitrarily frozen estranged wife to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, Marry Chiwenga’s five bank accounts without a court order.

The move comes at a time when Marry is extremely ill and needing money desperately.

Marry Mubaiwa recently claimed she is living in fear as unknown people want to kill her.

Marry and Chiwenga are going through a nasty divorce which is playing out in public, with the Vice-President alleging that the former model tried to kill him in July last year when he was bedridden in a South African hospital.

A visibly sick Mubaiwa was on Monday forced to attend court from an ambulance stretcher to cancel two warrants of arrest that were issued after she had failed to attend court due to

ill-health to answer to allegations of money-laundering and attempting to kill Chiwenga.

Marry is battling lymphoedema, a chronic condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissues.

CBZ, according to her lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, had no legal basis to freeze the accounts as there was no order from the court.

“Regrettably, this behaviour is not limited to your branch as all her attempts at transacting on all accounts she previously used with ease have met a similar fate. The only conclusion she has come to is that the decision not to process transactions is synchronised and has been taken by the bank. We advise that your conduct is unlawful and should cease forthwith as there has been no form of due legal process to bar our client from transacting on the account.”
