Zimbabwe
Vice
President
Constantino
Guveya
Chiwenga
delivers
his
speech
during
the
launch
of
the
Zanu
PF
election
Manifesto
ahead
of
the
2018
harmonised
general
elections
in
Zimbabwe
May
4
218.
In
a
statement
issued
by
his
legal
counsel,
Lewis
Uriri
of
Machingura
Legal
Practitioners,
Chiwenga
said
he
commended
the
collaborative
efforts
between
the
National
Prosecuting
Authority
(NPA)
and
its
South
African
counterpart
in
securing
the
forfeiture
order.
The
Vice
President
said
the
case
reinforced
the
regional
and
international
consensus
that
the
proceeds
of
crime
should
not
be
allowed
to
find
safe
haven
anywhere.
On
28
July
2025,
the
NPA
confirmed
that
the
Gauteng
High
Court,
under
Case
No.
6435/22,
granted
an
order
declaring
Mubaiwa’s
Pretoria
property
and
two
luxury
vehicles,
both
Range
Rovers,
as
proceeds
of
crime.
The
ruling
followed
investigations
linking
the
assets
to
alleged
money
laundering
and
illicit
financial
flows.
The
assets
were
preserved
in
February
2022
and
have
now
been
placed
in
the
custody
of
an
auctioneer,
with
proceeds
set
to
compensate
victims
of
the
alleged
offences.
One
of
the
vehicles
has
already
been
sold.
Chiwenga’s
legal
team
said
the
Vice
President
had
played
a
role
in
initiating
the
matter,
adding
that
he
promptly
reported
the
suspected
unlawful
conduct
upon
becoming
aware
of
it.
He
has
since
fully
cooperated
with
the
relevant
authorities,
with
his
actions
described
as
being
“motivated
solely
by
the
national
interest
and
in
furtherance
of
justice
and
accountability.”
Said
Uriri:
Our
client
also
wishes
to
place
on
record
that,
upon
becoming
aware
of
the
unlawful
activities
in
question,
he
promptly
reported
the
matter
and
has
since
rendered
his
full
cooperation
to
the
National
Prosecuting
Authority.His
actions
were
motivated
solely
by
the
national
interest
and
in
furtherance
of
justice
and
accountability.The
Honourable
Vice
President
remains
committed
to
upholding
the
rule
of
law
and
supporting
institutions
tasked
with
safeguarding
the
integrity
of
the
Republic.
The
former
army
general
and
Mubaiwa
have
been
involved
in
a
lengthy
legal
dispute
since
their
high-profile
separation,
with
several
court
proceedings
in
Zimbabwe
involving
allegations
of
attempted
murder,
fraud,
and
money
laundering.
