Can anyone trust Tsvangirai with Zim?
BELLS were supposed to be tolling, vows being exchanged at a plush wedding that was to draw the who-is-who in politics in Zimbabwe and the region at Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s wedding at Raintree Lodge in Umwinsdale, Harare. But that was not to be. The groom was rightly hoist by his own petard inPastor comes under fire

PASTOR Lazarus Muriritirwa, who is alleged to have introduced a South African woman to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai for a relationship, and availed his house as a love nest, has come under fire from clergymen for putting the Church into disrepute.
Pastor Muriritirwa of the Gospel Assembly Church told The Herald yesterday that he had indeed introduced Ms Nosipho Regina Shilubane for “a courtship” with Mr Tsvangirai but claimed the relationship did not work.
The pastor, who is principal director for policy implementation in the Prime Minister’s Office, said the two terminated their relationship last year, an assertion at variance with what Ms Shilubane says in her court papers.
“I introduced her to the Prime Minister for a courtship but they were never engaged as she claims,” said Pastor Muriritirwa of the Gospel Assembly Church. “They were just dating but she was duly advised in August
last year that the relationship could not work for reasons best known to them.
“When the Prime Minister told me that he had advised her about that, I then counselled her but she is just refusing to accept the reality that the relationship broke down.”
On Ms Shilubane’s claims that they used his house as their love nest, Pastor Muriritirwa said the pair used his house when he was away.
Ms Shilubane said the MDC-T leader would visit her at the pastor’s house where they had their first unprotected sexual encounter on September 19, 2009. Allegations
