Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is reported to have banned his wife, Mary Chiwenga from visiting him in hospital amidst reports that he was poisoned.
Chiwenga is currently in China where he is receiving medical attention. He is said to have sacked his security details and ordered Mary not to visit him again as he fears some were leaking information about his health to his political opponents.
Speaking to Zim Live, an unnamed close friend to the family said that Chiwenga did not trust even his wife. The source said:
It should be understood that very little is coming out from China. It however appears that the decision to limit the information that is shared, and restricting the number of people who can see him, was taken in consultation with Chinese authorities.
One can only imagine this is linked to suspicions of poisoning. Until the source of the poison is established, access to him will be very limited, and it appears even his wife – for now at least – is not trusted. When you are gravely ill, it’s a natural expectation that your spouse should be around, but not so in this case and that’s not normal.

taura hako, cos to me the same ailment he is suffering from is also affecting his wife
If the wife is not allowed to visit Chiwenga, that can only be good news: we will be saving on First Class travel between Harare and Beijing for her and her security detail and all their accommodation in Singapore and glasses of Blue Label for breakfast lunch and dinner.
Its a good move because public funds will be safe as well in an economise issues. Mari haichabudi yehurumende kunge manyoka thank you comrade pasi nemhanduu
