THIS is the excruciating moment a wife appeared to charge into a church demanding a stop to a wedding – claiming the groom is married to her.
What was supposed to be a special day for a Harare woman ended in shame, with her collapsing several times, after her white wedding was stopped by the groom’s first wife in Harare on Saturday.
The groom, Everisto Mukura, has four wives. His latest wife, Anne Ntini Dube, whom he intended to wed, was so humiliated she collapsed several times and covered her veil with an orange cloth, to avoid being photographed.
Reverend Shirichena was the presiding marriage officer. Everisto’s first wife, Sheron Chitowa, stopped the wedding after coming with her two children to the ceremony, armed with their birth certificates, to prove her marriage.
Pastor Mathias Madzivanyika and his wife Mildred, were among the guests and they played their part to console the distraught bride. The clergyman spoke to Sheron first before meeting Anne and Everisto.
“This is not the end of life,” said Mildred, addressing Sheron. Maybe, you remember my husband and me when we were labelled Satanists for preaching good news.”
Guests had mixed feelings about the events. Some wanted Everisto to hand a token of divorce to Sheron, so as to continue with the programme, while others blamed him for preparing a wedding knowing he was still attached.
