Marry Mubaiwa, the estranged wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, will now stand trial for assaulting her former housemaid on May 10 after she failed to do so Friday due to illness.
Mubaiwa is accused of slapping Delight Munyoro whom she allegedly claimed was influencing her children to dislike her.
Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa granted Mubaiwa’s application for postponement after agreeing she was visibly sick and should be afforded an opportunity to get better first.
The state, represented by Charles Muchemwa, had opposed the postponement arguing that witnesses were all present and that trial was overdue.
Mubaiwa’s lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa told court her client was not feeling any better.

He appeared before Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje.
Chombo is facing one fraud count plus five criminal abuse of office charges.
Chombo allegedly asked people to deposit varying sums of money for land purchases into his Chombo Housing Co-operative bank account, allocated himself over 125 stands in Harare and parceled out land through his companies – Comverol Enterprise, Cayford and Cavford in Carrick Creagh Farm in Harare without paying for the land.
He also allegedly sold state land and instructed government officials to sign a deed of settlement for Stoneridge Farm for Phillip Chiyangwa’s Pinnacle Holdings without Cabinet approval.
