Tsvangirai’s woes mount
Daniel Nemukuyu Senior Court Reporter
A SOUTH African woman — who claims to be engaged to Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai — has joined Ms Locardia Karimatsenga in seeking to have the premier’s wedding stopped.
Prime Minister Tsvangirai is scheduled to wed his fiancée Ms Elizabeth Macheka tomorrow at Raintree Lodge in Umwinsidale, Harare.
Ms Nosipho Regina Shilubane has instructed her lawyer, Mr Wellington Pasipanodya of Manase and Manase legal practitioners, to file an objection with Harare provincial magistrate Mr Munamato Mutevedzi.
Mr Mutevedzi granted the PM a marriage licence for tomorrow’s wedding.
The objection was filed yesterday morning.
Ms Karimatsenga’s lawyers filed their client’s objection papers before the same magistrate on Wednesday afternoon after the High Court dismissed her injunction.
Mr Mutevedzi is expected to deal with both cases today.
Lawyers representing the two women and those representing the PM and Ms Macheka briefly appeared before Mr Mutevedzi in his chambers at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts yesterday.
The matter was adjourned to today to allow lawyers for the PM, Mr Innocent Chagonda and Mr Selby Hwacha, to study the objection papers.

Supreme Court asked to order Copac to publish national statistical report
Innocent Ruwende Senior Court Reporter
Federation of Non-Governmental Organisations president Goodson Nguni has approached the Supreme Court seeking to compel Copac to make the national statistical report available to the public within 10 days. In his founding affidavit, Mr Nguni argued that he and other citizens were being
hindered in the enjoyment of their constitutional rights to freedom of expression by Copac’s failure or refusal to publish the national statistical report on the outcome of the outreach programme.
“ . . . Yet the respondents have in their record signed by three party representatives to the Global Political Agreement what people said in all outreach programmes,” he said.
“The reason being that the applicants individually and collectively need to know the information in the respondent’s possession which enables them to meaningfully participate at the Second All Stakeholders Conference.”
Mr Nguni further argued that the information would enable the applicants and other citizens to know the popular views expressed by fellow citizens.
He himself and members of his organisation attended the outreach programme.
Mr Nguni said soon after the constitutional outreach, Copac went on to produce a draft constitution for which Zanu-PF went on to propose further amendments.
He said according to Zanu-PF, the amendments were in line with the outcome of the outreach programme as enunciated in the national statistical report.
