When Presidents Robert Mugabe's affair with Grace Mugabe was exposed by the media, he was so furious that he went on to ask the nation if they played trumpets when they got married. Some Zimbabweans think the same should apply to Premier Morgan Tsvangirai.
"Imi pamakaroora makaridza mabhoswo here," Mugabe asked on national television and the quote was widely circulated in Zimbabwe and abroad.
Zimbabweans are divided as to whether there should be scrutiny on Tsvangirai's controversial marriage to Locardia Tembo.
Some Zimbabweans that were interviewed by Bulawayo24 News with regards to the controversial Tsvangirai wedding referred us to the same quote. They believe that Tsvangirai must be given his space and the Premier's private life must not bother us as citizens because its his life.
One commentator even went on to tell us that Tsvangirai must just come out and tell the nation the truth. "There is no problem with marrying someone who has links with Zanu-PF, look at Lovemore Moyo, he is married to Sithembiso Nyoni's daughter and its not a problem, the problem is how you handle it.
"Look my friend its a fact that in Mashonaland, all people from that region are Zanu-PF at heart if you may allow me to quote Prof Jonathan Moyo, so there is no problem, even Tsvangirai himself is Zanu-PF at heart so he is just going back home because bathi olungaziwayo aluthezwa (You don't marry a stranger).
