By Farai D Hove | Vice President Constantino Chiwenga yesterday turned 65, the same day Chimurenga Music legend Thomas Mapfumo celebrated his 77th birthday.

Chiwenga, who is the military commander who removed former President Robert Mugabe, received praises from the Office Of The President and Cabinet who announced saying:

Happy 65th Birthday Vice President and MoHCCZ Minister, Dr. Constantino G.D.N Chiwenga. We hope all your birthday wishes and dreams come true.

Chiwenga’s career has been blighted by a marriage scandal in which he has removed his wife of several years, Marry Mubaiwa, from their matrimonial home, and depriving her of access to her own children for 2 years running.
