Incarcerated Marry Chiwenga, wife to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga says she is critically ill and unable to stand trial.

“The applicant is of visible poor health, being visibly traumatised and having lost a considerable amount of weight,” her lawyers argue.

Marry, who is detained at the Chikurubi Female Maximum Security Prison, submitted that her hands are visibly swollen adding she was injured on June 23 2018 by “a hand held grenade thrown with the intention of assassinating the President (Mnangagwa),” she said in the papers.

Marry with her husband were part of the group of top ZANU PF officials who survived an assassination attack bombing on President Emmerson Mnangagwa in Bulawayo in 2018.

Scores of people were killed or injured on the day.
