THE late former President Robert Mugabe’s daughter, Bona Nyapudzai Ouma Mugabe-Chikore (32), has filed for divorce against her husband Simbarashe Mutsahuni Chikore (46).
According to her lawyers, the divorce summons were filed yesterday at the Harare High Court.
“Her lawyers, indeed, filed the summons today (Tuesday) at the High Court,” a family insider said.
The family member could, however, not divulge the details leading to the break-up, only preferring to say their marriage had irretrievably broken down.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 in front of over 4 000 guests, among them three heads of State, family, friends and other dignitaries from across southern Africa.
The well-choreographed and colourful event earned its place in the country’s history books and was broadcast live on State-run ZBC TV.
In 2015, there were reports that their marriage was on the rocks.
Bona was reportedly forced into marriage by her mother, then First lady Grace, against her will to first concentrate on her career as a finance expert or banker.
