Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa will soon know her fate after the state Tuesday closed its case in a matter she is accused of fraud.

The State closed its case after leading evidence from 11 witnesses, including the Vice-President.

Mubaiwa is alleged to have forged the VP’s signature on a marriage certificate in a bid to upgrade their customary union.

The defence team for Marry Mubaiwa applied for her to be discharged on the charges of misrepresenting that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga agreed to a civil marriage, arguing that the State failed to establish that an offence may have taken place.

The written defence submission will be filed on Friday with the State expected to respond on Wednesday next week before Mr Ncube makes his judgment on February 4.
