President Robert Mugabe's daughter, Bona, 24, wed in a lavish ceremony held at the family's private home in Borrowdale.
PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe gave his daughter, Bona, US$100,000 and a 55
herd of cattle at her lavish wedding to Simba Chikore in Harare on
Saturday.
Bona, 24, wed Chikore, said to be 37 years old, at her father's home in the capital's plush suburb of Borrowdale.
The presidents of South Africa, Zambia and Equatorial Guinea attended
the event along with a handful of former leaders, among them Jerry
Rawlings of Ghana.
Various artists including South Africa's Zahara and the Soweto String
Quartet, Koffi Olomide from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and
local stars Jah Prayzah and Sulumani Chimbetu provided the
entertainment.
Private media organisations were barred from the event which was
partially televised on national television although even the ZBC took
care not to show images of Mugabe's palatial home which is said to have
cost more than $10 million to build.
