Vice-president Constantino Chiwenga is demanding a refund of US$245 428 paid into his estranged wife, Marry Mubaiwa’s bank account as proceeds from his hunting concessions as the fight for properties exposes the lifestyles of Zimbabwe’s rich political masters.
Chiwenga’s lawsuit shows the extent of the couple’s property holdings previously kept under wraps. The two are fighting for several properties and even small items acquired during their nine-year marriage, which has irretrievably broken down after Chiwenga accused Mubaiwa of trying to kill him while he was hospitalised in South Africa last year.
The two are also fighting over Orchid Farm in Domboshava.
Chiwenga says the property must be shared equally between the parties, with the former army commander exercising the right to buy out Mubaiwa after a valuation by an independent evaluator within 30 days of granting of a court order.
“Further, the parties purchased two large capacity events tents located and stored at Orchid Farm and the plaintiff prays that the parties get one tent each.
“Further, the plaintiff prays that the defendant be awarded all moveable household utensils located in the kitchen and the bed found in the bedroom located at 614 Nick Price drive, Borrowdale Brooke, Harare that the parties used during the subsistence of the marriage,” the papers read in part.
“Each party be allocated one large capacity events tent situated at Orchid Farm, Domboshava Road, Harare. Refund of US$245 428 paid into defendant’s bank account which she collected from plaintiff’s hunting concessions.”
In the papers, Chiwenga said he was “fit and healthy”, hence better placed to take care of the two’s minor children as he, unlike the former top model, had no drug abuse problems.
“On the other hand, the plaintiff is better poised to take better care of the minor children in that he is fit and healthy with no drug addiction problems. Plaintiff can better cater for the needs of the children as he is gainfully employed and has suitable comfortable accommodation to ensure that the lives of the children are not affected with the divorcing of the parties,” Chiwenga said in the papers.
The two were married in 2011 and Mubaiwa was given a divorce token in November last year.
“The plaintiff acquired the following assets for the defendant, namely a property called stand 591 Borrowdale, Harare, also known as Stand 137 Borrowdale Brooke measuring 3 198 square metres, Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover Sport and a Ford Ranger pick-up truck.”
Chiwenga said he was not interested in these assets, hence Mubaiwa could have them.
The divorce proceeding with Mubaiwa revealed that the two had properties in South Africa, apart from a list of luxury and expensive cars that includes the Toyota V8 Land Cruiser, Mercedes-Benz E350, among others.
Chiwenga’s divorce with his former wife Jocelyn in 2014 also exposed Chiwenga’s wealth, with companies and vast tracts of prime land in the leafy Harare suburbs. He also owned an apartment in Malaysia, to add to the many houses in the country.
Apart from possessing many posh vehicles, the retired army general was revealed to own an extensive jewellery collection.

Assisted Living Costs: How Families Can Plan For Senior Care
Assisted living can provide seniors with housing, meals, personal care, medication support, social activities, and help with daily tasks. But the cost can be a major concern for families.
rnrn
Assisted living costs vary based on location, facility type, room size, care needs, and services included. Some communities charge a base monthly fee, while others add costs for medication management, bathing assistance, memory care, transportation, or special medical needs.
rnrn
Families should ask what is included in the monthly price. Meals, housekeeping, laundry, utilities, activities, and basic care may be included, but higher levels of care may cost extra.
rnrn
Memory care is usually more expensive than standard assisted living because it provides specialized support for people with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
rnrn
Medicare usually does not pay for long-term assisted living room and board. Medicaid may help in some states for eligible individuals, but rules vary. Long-term care insurance may also help if the policy includes assisted living benefits.
rnrn
Families may pay through retirement savings, pensions, Social Security, home sale proceeds, long-term care insurance, or family contributions.
rnrn
Before choosing a facility, visit in person. Pay attention to cleanliness, staff attitude, safety, food quality, resident activities, and how residents are treated.
rnrn
Ask about staffing levels, emergency procedures, medication policies, move-out rules, price increases, and care assessments.
rnrn
Planning early can reduce stress. Waiting until a crisis happens may limit choices and increase pressure.
rnrn
Assisted living is not just about cost. It is about safety, dignity, comfort, and quality of life. The right community can help seniors stay independent while getting the support they need.
rnrn
Families should compare options carefully and choose a place that fits both care needs and budget.
