Ziyambi Anxious To End Marriage

Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi is seeking leave to serve divorce summons on his estranged wife, Florence, through the media, saying he cannot locate her at her Marlborough home or at work in Harare since August.

Ziyambi said he wanted to move on with his life after the relationship ended six years ago when the couple separated and also wants the High Court to authorise that the summons be served on a police officer who guards Florence’s home.

The minister caused divorce summons to be issued against his estranged wife on August 28 and the sheriff attempted on six occasions to serve Florence, but to no avail.

“I have not been staying with the respondent for the past six years, hence my desire to have this marriage terminated as I need to move on with my life. Further, since the respondent is nowhere to be found, I wish to serve through substituted service,” Ziyambi said.

He said the former deputy prosecutor-general was aware that summons must be served personally and was doing everything to frustrate the process. DailyNews
