Mr Innocent Zvaipa and the PM’s younger brother Manasa reported-ly arrived at the Karimatsenga homestead around 9am where they jumped the gate to gain entry.
Ms Karimatsenga’s lawyer Everson Samkange yesterday confirmed that the PM’s emissaries “trespassed” into the Karimatsenga family homestead.
He said there was no one at home except for the gardener who was going about his duties.
“Yes, I can confirm that the PM’s emissaries went and jumped into the Karimatsenga homestead in Christon Bank,” he said.
“It is unthinkable that the PM’s emissaries exhibit such unlawful behaviour.
“There was no one at the premises except for the gardener. The modern thing they could have done was to knock at the gate rather than to jump.
“We are actually wondering what their motive was.”
What the PM’s emissaries did, said Mr Samkange, constituted a criminal offence under the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
He said the PM’s lawyers Mr Innocent Chagonda and Advocate Thabani Mpofu last Friday approached him over the PM’s marriage to Ms Karimatsenga.
Mr Samkange said they intimated that they wanted to have an out of court settlement, which he agreed to, but the lawyers never came back to him.
Mr Zvaipa denied ever going to Christon Bank yesterday.
“I did not go there. I am actually in my office now and I have not yet seen Manasa today,” he said.
“Maybe we will meet later in the day.”
On Wednesday last week, Mr Zvaipa and Manasa went to Locardia’s aunt Ms Mafara;s house at Number 2 Charliecot Road in Borrowdale where they left a letter in the letter box.
After dropping the letter, they proceeded to Locardia’s House at Number 2 Addmore Road in Greendale where they threw another letter over the precast wall.
The letters were not opened and no one knows their contents.
Mr Samkange said he was trying to contact the PM’s lawyers over the matter.
“I have been trying to get in touch with Adv Mpofu and Mr Chagonda over the letters, but I have not been successful,” he said.
PM Tsvangirai is embroiled in a bitter divorce with Locardia that resulted in him failing to wed his new love Elizabeth Macheka last week after Harare magistrate Munamato Mutevedzi cancelled a marriage licence he had issued to the PM. This was after Ms Karimatsenga successfully challenged the premier’s intended marriage to Ms Macheka under Chapter 5:11 of the Marriages Act.
