A Harare magistrate has ordered the estranged wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, Marry to be remanded in custody pending mental examination by state doctors.
Marry will be at Harare Remand prison for the next 10 days.
Prosecutor Michael Reza had urged the court to send her to jail so that she can be medically monitored.
This came after Marry, through her lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, was challenging the commencement of her trial in cases that are pending before the lower courts.
The former model is facing charges of assault, fraud and forgery.
She argued that she was physically and mentally unwell to stand in the dock.
Magistrate Lazini Ncube rolled over the matter to November 26.
In other news, Africa Metro reported that extravagant businessman and socialite Mike Chimombe has impregnated his wife’s little sister Panashe Rusero.

A source close to the family confirmed the illicit affair with the tabloid. The source said that the family had tried to intervene to stop the affair earlier after noting something untoward between the two.
“Mike started living with Mitchell (his wife) when Panashe was still in Form 2-3, that is in 2009-2010, so when she was now in Lower 6, Panashe would go stay at her elder sister’s house,” the source said.
“So when she was now staying with them, Mike would go to clubs at night with Panashe and that time we started noticing that something was happening between the two of them."
