Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is due to wed his former presidential secretary Grace Marufu on Saturday, when he will throw a party for up to 20,000 guests.

Although Mr Mugabe, 72, has officially invited only 6,000 local and foreign guests to witness him exchange marriage vows with his 31-year-old bride at his rural home, he knows that under Zimbabwean tribal tradition, relatives and clansmen flock to such ceremonies. Reuter - Harare
