Speaking to Voice of America Tembo’s lawyer Jonathan Samukange said: “If they get married, that will prejudice my client. Under customary law that would mean Locardia is no longer Tsvangirai’s wife.”
Prime Minister Tsvangirai maintains he did not pay lobola to Locardia’s parents, only damages, therefore he is not married to her.
Newsday quoted Tsvangirai’s spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka, who alleged that the Central Intelligence Organisation was trying to block the wedding. “There are two CIO operations: Operation Blackhawk and Operation Spiderweb financed to the tune of $100 million to cause maximum damage to the person of Tsvangirai,” he said.
On Thursday the Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai again denied that he was customarily married to Locardia and said he would be going ahead with the final wedding preparations to Ms. Macheka.
It’s reported that a number of regional leaders have been invited to the extravagant event which will be held next Saturday.
