well then the marriage is void now the disgruntled wife should just lay a charge of bigamy against both of them and then sue the new so - called bride for pain and suffering .

Bosso ke Morgan Tsvangirai... apparently he married his new bride in terms of customary laws which would effectively render Miss Karimatsenga without grounds to challenge him legally, he would have violated a court order had he married in terms of a civil marriage.... this was a clever move on his part to buy him time to finalise the annulment of his marriage with Karimatsenga.. when that hurdle is finally jumped, he can go to court and change his matrimonial regime with his new bride into a civil union.....

Morgan, instead of campaigning to free Zimbabwe people from the monster called Mugabe, you are busy bed-hopping. In one week alone three women claimed to be engaged to you. There is also a 21 year old mistress in Bulawayo, who recently gave birth to your son. When do you find time for all these women and still lead the MDC? Susan must be turning in her grave, you have become the laughing stock of Mugabe and his ZANU-PF. They are sending all these young women to lure and you are falling right into their traps head first. (Remember Father Mncube?). You of all people are supposed to know how Mugabe operates! Who are your advisers? What about your grown-up children, don't you think you are embarassing them? You used to be considered Zimbabwe's hope for the future but now .............

i cant believe a catholic bishop presided that occassion, after all catholic respects this sacrament a lot and catholic does not support divorce, am disappointed at what the bishop allowed to do, Pope needs to call him to order... @Sowetan, of what tradition is Tsvangirai and Macheka, i see them in black and white yet you say they were at their traditional ceremony

According to "Common Law" which is applicable to any country; you cannot prevent anyone including any act that is not practiced violently. Morgan holds the rights to get married as many times as he likes, however if his first marriage was a Civil Union then Legally or according to Zimbabwe Marriage Act, it will be regarded as "null and void" because the "gate keeper" which is Matrimonial Property Act clearly stipulates 'one man - one woman' under a Civil Union and he has automatically vioalated the Matrimonial Property Act. There are two 'Remedial Actions': Firstly his first wife can divorce him for contraveing with a 'gate keeper Act' and order that he looses wholey or partly of their joint estate. Secondly Morgan can check when did he get married the first time. If the Zimbabwe Marrige Act was amended, re-enacted after he got married; then he can apply for his first marriage to be declared as a Customary Marriage; and get away with it. He can also sue the Zimbabwe state for failing to interpret their Laws which resulted in his name being tarnished beyond redemption.

Tango, there is no need for that. Men are supposed to look like a back-end of a horse, unlike the metrosexual males of today, powdering their noses. Also, age has notihng to do with it, I'm 46 and happily married to a Scottish-Romanian beautiful 28 year old woman, who sired me 3 children. In Africa there is no such thing as bigamy. The world ratio is 3:1, i.e 3 women to 1 man. So why should all surplus women go to their graves with dry pom-poms?? Morgan is doing his manly duties, just like lions do in the wild. He's no oil painting but his new missus, is definitey nyobable

Marriage issues aside, so shall we take it that all is good in Zimbabwe-since Morgan no longer appears on international tv whining about the brutal regime of Mugabe...Thats what happens when people get comfortable seats in power.The poor lose their voices...

Mugabe did not attend the ceremony= very good that was going to spoil your occassion. In a wedding you like to see beautiful faces not a face like that of Bob Mugabe, even if he did not attend that is not his wedding.
CONGRATULATIONS Morgan and your new wife.
