Former football player Shingi Kawondera made accusations against his ex-wife Marry Mubaiwa during a podcast appearance with DJ Ollah 7. Kawondera blamed Mubaiwa for his financial losses and claimed she played a role in his departure from Pioneer Gas. He alleged that he facilitated the relationship between Mubaiwa and late businessman Genius Kadungure. The former athlete suggested that Mubaiwa and Kadungure were strangers before his introduction. These statements sparked immediate controversy within Zimbabwe's entertainment circles.
Mubaiwa rejected Kawondera's version of events during an interview with journalist Simba Chikanza on ZimEye. She revealed that Kadungure was her cousin through family connections rather than a business associate. Mubaiwa explained that Kadungure's mother and her father were siblings. She dismissed suggestions that their relationship required any external facilitation. The businesswoman questioned why Kawondera focused exclusively on her despite having other marriages.
Mubaiwa challenged Kawondera to pursue legal action if he possessed evidence of wrongdoing. She pointed out that company registration changes require official government approval through proper channels. The entrepreneur suggested that accusations of document forgery implicated state institutions in fraudulent activities. Mubaiwa expressed confidence about confronting Kawondera in any public forum. She acknowledged that Kawondera credited her parenting abilities and maintained access to their daughter.
