She is the first wife.
Mr Samukange said his client would not rest until the PM did “the right thing”.
However, the lawyer did not disclose the next course of action.
“We are not yet done with him until he has done the right thing. We have our custom, tradition and the rule of law, which the PM was sworn to safeguard jealously. The rule of law requires that he obeys it as enunciated by the legislature.

“She (Ms Karimatsenga) is nowhere near divorcing the PM or giving him gupuro because of his marriage to Macheka.
“It is his problem and he has to sort it out himself,” he said.
Mr Samukange dismissed claims by the PM’s lieutenants that the court applications were concocted by State security agents and the premier’s political rivals.
“This is utter rubbish. It is nonsensical. All those organisations (CIO and Zanu-PF) are not involved in the cases.
“We had no intention to wash this matter in the public. Locardia is personally hurt. He impregnated her, marries and just dumps her.
“Worse still, the same person goes to the next village and marries another one.”
He added: “After all that pain and suffering, people conclude that she is being used by CIO and Zanu-PF.
“This means she cannot think for herself and that she only has to wait for the CIO to think for her. That is unfair.”
Mr Samukange said Mr Tsvangirai demonstrated high levels of stubbornness by attempting to terminate marriage to Ms Karimatsenga through a US$1 divorce token.
“We have a custom of how we marry and divorce. I believe the PM was simply being stubborn by tendering the token through a magistrate.”
