Zimbabwe Prime Minister <PERSON>’s Controversial Wedding · Global Voices
After Zimbabwean Prime Minister <PERSON> went ahead with his wedding on 15 September, 2012, despite attempts to bar it by an estranged former partner, netizens of course took to Twitter and Facebook to express their thoughts.
<PERSON>'s former lover sought the court's order to stop the wedding on the ground that the two of them were married. He abandoned plans for a civil wedding and went ahead with a traditional one; Zimbabwe's customary laws allow for polygamy.
