A PSYCHIATRIST today told the court that Marry Mubaiwa is suffering from depression and anxiety rendering her unfit to comprehend trial proceedings.
Dr Fungisai Mazhandu said Mubaiwa exhibited signs of
failing to concentrate when she examined her at Parirenyatwa Group of
Hospitals.
She said this while testifying on Mubaiwa’s mental welfare
when she appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Lazini Ncube.
Another medical practitioner, Dr Charles Nyamukachi, who
physically examined Mubaiwa, told the court that she was physically fit to
stand trial.
Dr Nyamukachi told the court that Mubaiwa can answer
questions during trial.
Mr Ncube will this afternoon determine whether Mubaiwa is
able to stand trial from the testimonies of the two doctors.
Mubaiwa is charged with violating the Marriages Act after
she allegedly misrepresented that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga had consented
to legally marry her during the time he was ill. Herald
