Sonja Madzikanda, the estranged wife of controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo, appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court on Wednesday alongside her mother, Thabitha Madzikanda, following their arrest earlier this week.

Sonja reportedly spent two nights in police custody after being arrested on Monday on allegations linked to denying Chivayo access to their two children.

Speaking briefly to journalists outside court, she said: "It's okay, I am okay," as proceedings were set to begin.

Her mother was arrested on Tuesday on allegations of cyber-related offences and an alleged attempt to siphon US$1.4 million from a trust account reportedly set up for Chivayo's children. Investigators are also probing claims that there were attempts to alter authorised signatories linked to the account without permission.

The case has drawn significant public attention due to the high-profile and long-running fallout between Sonja and Chivayo following the breakdown of their marriage.

The matter is still before the court, with further details expected as proceedings continue.
