After Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai went ahead with his wedding on 15 September, 2012, despite attempts to bar it by an estranged former partner, netizens of course took to Twitter and Facebook to express their thoughts.
Tsvangirai's former lover sought the court's order to stop the wedding on the ground that the two of them were married. He abandoned plans for a civil wedding and went ahead with a traditional one; Zimbabwe's customary laws allow for polygamy.

@LanceGuma [11]: Some people can't read PR trends. At #Locardia level the plot was working. Enter the SA woman & the overdose turned #Tsvangirai into victim.
@herzimbabwe [12]: Is Morgan #Tsvangirai fit to be the leader of women? What are we feeling about all his love scandals as the electorate of Zimbabwe?
@percyzvomuya [13]: Ah, Tsvangirai, why snub one woman for another? Why not do a couple of weddings? One in Harare, another in Bulawayo & make everyone happy?
@Zanele_20 [14]: Wonder how long Tsvangirai's wedding is goin to last this time.
