PRIME Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has proceeded with his wedding to Elizabeth Macheka on Saturday under customary laws, a day after a court cancelled his marriage licence.
Tsvangirai decided to circumvent the order by staging the wedding under the country’s customary law which allows a man to have as many wives as he wants.
“We respect the law; we don’t violate the law but there are other people who would like to abuse the law for their political ends.

“I think I will make it to the Guinness Book of Records as the first Zimbabwean to be denied the right to wed.”
Tsvangirai rubbished his critics saying despite the attacks on his character, he will die with Elizabeth: “Some have a chain of wives and some took other people’s spouses. So what is my issue?”
This one I hunted on my own and I shall die with her, he said
“Uyu ndakapfimba ndega, ndikaroora ndega and ndichafa naye. Zvichemo zvinoenda nekuna mai ava ndivo amai venyu.”
Below are some of the latest pictures coming out of the ceremony.
