Ex-Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai not wanted at Bona Mugabes wedding MDC-T leader and former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has been left out from the list of high profile guests that will attend President Robert Mugabes first born daughter Bonas wedding to Simba Chikore today. Three serving presidents and three former heads of state from Sadc countries and beyond are expected to attend the wedding. President Mugabe, invited West African Equatorial Guinea leader, Nguema Mbasogo, South African President Jacob Zuma, Zambian president Michael Sata to join him in celebrating the wedding of his daughter. Invitations have gone out to over 4,000 guests for the wedding which will take place in the backdrop of the First Familys Blue Roof Borrowdale residence in Harare. President Mugabe cut short a visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday, where he was attending a Comesa summit, to return home and personally oversee preparations for the wedding – the first by any of his children. Yes we came back early, weve a wedding on Saturday, you see. We said well, lets go home early, weve beer to brew thats why were here. Were really happy as a family, she has made us proud, you know. Considering that I had my marriage, my second marriage, when I was in my 70s, I had no hope that Ill see my children grow old like this, President Mugabe said to laughter from delegates who welcomed him at the Harare International Airport on Wednesday night. Luke Tamborinyoka, Tsvangirais spokesperson said his boss is spending the weekend at his rural home in Buhera while the first family celebrates at their swish Borrowdale Brook home. We have just buried comrade William Bango at his rural home, and the former prime minister has just proceeded to his rural home where he will spend his weekend with his mother, Tamborinyoka said. Tsvangirai was in Chivhu for the funeral of veteran journalist William Bango who passed on in a tragic accident on Tuesday. Meanwhile, invitation cards sent out to lucky guests say the ceremony will run from 2pm to 4pm at the Presidents residence, with the reception to follow from 6pm to 6am the next day. Chikore, who is a twin, is a pilot with Qatar Airways and privately credits ZAOGA leader Ezekiel Guti and his wife for his marriage to Bona, who holds a Masters Degree in Accounting.
