Chairman of Alpha Media Holdings (AMH) and a member of the Presidential Advisory Council (PAC), Trevor Ncube, said Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga, the estranged wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is a victim of selective application of the law.
Ncube warned that what Marry is going through can happen to any Zimbabwean citizen. Writing on microblogging site Twitter, Ncube said:
I have never met Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga. I don’t know her from a bar of blue soap. She has become the latest victim of selective application of the law and weak compromised/national institutions. What she is going through can happen to any of us.
Marry appeared at the Harare regional court on Monday morning where she was formally placed on remand on the charge of attempting to kill her husband.
The former model was initially charged with the externalization of US$1 million, fraudulently seeking to solemnise her marriage with neither Chiwenga’s knowledge nor consent and money laundering.
A large number of influential people in ZANUPF are guilty of externalisation of large sums of foreign currency. In the early days of his presidency the president ordered those who had externalised funds to return the money. We dont know who did and who didnt return the money. Nothibg was ever said about it again apart from naming a few organisations that were said to have externalised a few thousands of US dollars. It is therefore unfortunate that Mary Chiwenga is now the victim of selected application of the law. What makes it even unfortunate is that she is also a victim of what is probably abuse of office by the General. The President must step in and save the country from this embarrassing situation before we become a confirmed banana Republic. Young women ought know the risks of marrying older men for their money. It does not last.
If the law is to be applied fairly there will be no one in ZANUPF who will escape prison. The only way forward is to issue a blanket amnesty for all forex related offences and let everyone concerned start on a new slate.
We can have sympathy for Marry mubaiwa yes ….coz we are human beings but if the allegations she is facing are true then please let’s allow the law to take its own course. Surely the Lady has a case to answer. Rather cases to answer. Akazvinyanya veduwee.
The only sensible contribution from Trevor Ncube since he joined the PAC!!
