Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has testified before Harare Magistrate Lazini Ncube, in a case where he is accusing his estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa of attempting to upgrade their customary marriage by forging his signature without his knowledge.

Chiwenga sneaked into the courtroom via the back door, dodging public eye.

His security aides were heavily protecting him from the camera, denying the public a chance to hear his side of the story.

On Thursday morning, Magistrate Ncube had ruled that Chiwenga’s testimony would be held in camera to protect the Vice President’s office.

The case has many witnesses including, Supreme Court judge Justice George Chiweshe who has since distanced himself from the marriage fraud saga during his testimony before Magistrate Ncube saying he had no reason to think that Mubaiwa was lying when she approached him and that he was not responsible for solemnising their marriage.
