‘Player’ Zimbabwean prime minister remarries

Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, whose wedding plans appeared to have been thwarted when a court ruled he was already wed to a former flame, pressed ahead with his marriage on Saturday under a custom that permits polygamy.

 

The scandal – which had also seen another woman challenge his wedding plans – has gripped the nation and handed his rival, President Robert Mugabe, political ammunition as he seeks to extend his three-decade rule in an election expected within a year.

Tsvangirai could not be married in a legally recognised ceremony because of the embarrassing ruling. In an apparent bid to save face, he instead held a ceremony under Zimbabwe’s “customary marriage” practice.

The 60-year-old and Elizabeth Macheka, 35, exchanged rings and promised to love each other. But there was no signing of a marriage certificate or vows of monogamy.
