The Zimbabwean Prime Minister, 60 year-old Morgan Tsvangirai created quite a buzz over the weekend when he got married to 35 year-old Elizabeth Macheka. Interestingly, the age difference between him and his bride wasn’t the only factor that drew worldwide attention to his marriage.
His wedding plans were almost thwarted last week when a court ruled that he was already wed to a former flame, Locardia Karimatsenga.
Days earlier, another woman, South African Nosipho Regina Shilubane, also filed a court challenge to stop the wedding, saying she was engaged to the prime minister, with whom she said she had been romantically involved since 2009.
And so, in order to save face, he instead held a ceremony under Zimbabwe’s “customary marriage” practice. Reuters reported that the bride and groom exchanged vows and rings at a luxury convention facility in Harare but did not sign the legal marriage register. The wedding took place on Saturday, September 15, 2012 and was presided over by a Priest.
Huffington Post quoted the prime minister as saying that he had to date several women to find the one he truly loves. He also dismissed media reports that his private life is irresponsible and makes him unfit to lead the country.
His bride was dressed in a white ball gown accesorized with ‘Kim Kardashain style’ hair piece, diamond chandelier earrings and necklace.
Could this be love? Love cannot be a crime in this case oo....so you see??? Age is just a number.....
