MORGAN Tsvangirai’s marriage was in crisis last night after bombshell revelations that his wife, Elizabeth Macheka, cheated on him just months after their wedding last September.
The Prime Minister’s 36-year-old wife rekindled an old affair with a married man, Kennedy Ngirazi, whom she referred to as “sweetie” in e-mails and arranged secret trips with him to Cape Town.
And just a day after the July 31 elections, Liz – as her associates call her – flew to South Africa to be with her three children from previous relationships and did not return until August 5, leaving the MDC-T leader to pick up the pieces from a heavy electoral defeat to President Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF party.
The shock revelations by the Sunday Mail newspaper will hit Tsvangirai, 61, like a freight train given the trouble he went through to marry Macheka, against the advice of close aides who said she was of questionable character.
Tsvangirai tied the knot with Liz barely months after paying bride price for another woman, Locardia Karimatsenga Tembo, only to dump her 12 days later claiming that pro-Mugabe state security agents had “weighed in to force and direct proceedings... which has undermined my confidence in this relationship.” See full story here
