This comes as the PM and his second wife Ms Elizabeth Macheka filed an appeal at the Supreme Court contesting the High Court’s decision to uphold a magistrate’s ruling cancelling their marriage licence.
Harare provincial magistrate Mr Munamato Mutevedzi nullified the licence last Friday afternoon.

Mr Jonathan Samukange of Venturas and Samukange law practice, who is acting for Ms Karimatsenga, yesterday wrote to Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri pushing for the PM’s arrest.
