General Chiwengas Ex-Wife Falls On Hard Times

VICE-PRESIDENT Constantino Chiwenga’s ex-wife, Jocelyn and her company Rugnet Ventures, has fallen on hard times and risks losing her residential property in Harare’s leafy Glen Lorne suburb after she failed to repay her $2,6 million CBZ Bank loan.

The latest development came nearly six years after Jocelyn concluded her messy divorce with the former military commander and shared their vast wealth equally.

In summons filed at the High Court on March 9 this year, CBZ Bank cited Jocelyn, her companies Rugnet Ventures (Private) Ltd and Licybuster Investments (Private) Ltd, as co-respondents.

The bank is represented by Musendekwa-Mtisi Legal Practitioners, while Jocelyn is self-acting

According to the court papers under case number HC2248/18, sometime in May 2014, the bank entered into a structured loan facility agreement with Rugnet Ventures for $1,3 million at the firm’s special instance and request.

“It was agreed that interest would accrue at the bank’s minimum lending rate (3% per annum) plus 13% all-inclusive on the restructured loan facility during the restructured loan facility period, but subject to change thereafter in line with prevailing money markets rates,” the bank said in its declaration.

It was a term of the said agreement that the first defendant (Rugnet Ventures) would pay collection costs, bank charges and legal costs on an attorney-client scale in the event of plaintiff (CBZ) resorting to legal action to recover its monies.”

Vivek Ramaswamy’s Ohio Victory Sparks National Political Debate

Vivek Ramaswamy has become one of the biggest names in American politics after securing a major victory in the Ohio Republican governor primary. The businessman and former presidential candidate’s win is drawing national attention as political analysts debate what it could mean for the future direction of the Republican Party and upcoming elections.

Supporters describe Ramaswamy as a fresh political voice focused on economic growth, education reform, and government accountability. His campaign gained momentum through strong social media engagement, appearances on national television, and support from conservative voters seeking outsider leadership. Searches related to “Ohio governor race,” “Vivek Ramaswamy policies,” and “Republican primary results” have surged across the internet following the election outcome.

Political commentators believe the victory could increase Ramaswamy’s national influence and potentially position him as a major figure in future national campaigns. Opponents, however, argue that the race reflects growing political polarization across the country. Analysts expect the general election campaign to attract heavy media attention as candidates intensify their efforts ahead of voting season.

The race is also highlighting the growing role of digital media and online platforms in modern political campaigns. Experts say strong online engagement and direct voter communication continue to reshape how candidates connect with the public.
