Lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa told court on Thursday that Marry Mubaiwa-Chiwenga’s health condition has continued to deteriorate, while seeking for a relaxation of the bail conditions.
Mtetwa wants bail conditions relaxed for her client so that she can seek medical attention from South Africa.
Marry is suffering from lymphoedema, which has caused swelling of her arms and legs including severe puss dripping wounds.
The state is holding her passport thus is unable to seek medication from South Africa.
Mtetwa told Judge Justice Benjamin Chikowero that,” she is in severe pain and required urgent treatment in South Africa as the health facilities in the country were incapacitated to deal with her problem.”
“It’s so difficult that she has to move around with a machine that drains liquids and puss from the wounds and a container which collects the discharge.”
The state is afraid that Marry might abscond because she has links in South Africa.
She is facing a slew of charges including attempted murder of her former husband, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, fraud, money laundering and assault.
Meanwhile, High Court reserved judgment in appealing for the return of her passport to enable her travel to South Africa for treatment.
