Zimbabwe's
Prime minister, Mr Morgan Tsvangirai over the weekend caused some
tension when he married his 35 year old lover, Elizabeth
Macheka in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Morgan
Tsvangirai married Elizabeth Macheka, 35 amidst pressure and legal
attempts to stop the wedding from his other girlfriends.
JG Blog has learnt that the PM is already married to one Locardia Karimatsenga.
Few days
before the wedding, another woman from South Africa, Nosipho Regina
Shilubane filed a court order to put a stop to the wedding, claiming she
is engaged to the Morgan Tsvangirai.
Regina claimed they have been romantically involved since year 2009.
"In
Zimbabwe, Polygamy is recognized under its traditional customary law
but not in its formal legal system. A man can have several customary
marriages, but if he has wed under the practice, he is precluded from
holding a legal marriage ceremony. The Prime Minister had initially
planned to have his second marriage under the legal system but Locardia
challenged his plan in court. After seeing video footage of the
traditional bride price being paid last November to Locardia’s family,
the magistrate cautioned Tsvangirai that if he signed a legal marriage
register with his new wife he could be prosecuted for bigamy."
Because of all the circumstances surrounding him, he opted for a customary marriage practise instead.
The exchange
of vows took place at an event center in Harare while the proper
wedding took place on the 15th of Sept, 2012 and was presided over by a
Priest.
According to
reports from reliable sources, the PM claimed he dated several women to
find out who he truly loves & has finally found his true love.
