On December 19, 2019, Zimbabwe's Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga was at the center of a shocking scandal involving his estranged wife, Marry Mubaiwa.
Mubaiwa, who is already facing corruption charges, has been denied bail in Harare after being charged with attempting to murder her husband.
The alleged incident occurred while Chiwenga was receiving treatment in South Africa, where Mubaiwa allegedly tried to prevent him from getting medical attention and even pulled an intravenous drip out of his arm in hospital.
Chiwenga's allegations against Mubaiwa have sparked widespread concern, with many questioning the motives behind the charges and the country's commitment to clean governance.
As Zimbabwe continues to grapple with the aftermath of the Mugabe era, this case has raised questions about the country's ability to hold its leaders accountable for their actions.
