Injiva flock Marriage Court
Court Reporter
THE Marriage Court in Bulawayo was overwhelmed by the number of people tying the knot last month.
The development has been attributed to hundreds of Zimbabweans based outside the country, who were back home for the festive season.
The Marriage Court at Tredgold Building in Bulawayo witnessed 131 marriages between 7 December and 28 December last year.
On Friday there were more than 20 couples, who tied the knot.
A majority of the newlyweds were Zimbabweans based in South Africa popularly known as injiva while some are based in the United Kingdom and other overseas countries.
“I am here for the wedding of my daughter, Nokuthula Ndlovu who is based in South Africa and came home for the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays. She married Nicholas,” said a woman who identified herself as Mrs Ndlovu.
The Marriage Court sits on Tuesdays and Fridays while new registrations are made on Mondays and Wednesdays.
