The divorce marks an end to one of the most publicised marriages in the country which began with a flashy wedding that was attended by heads of states from different countries.

Held in March 2014 and at the private residence of the Mugabes in Borrowdale, dignitaries stumbled on each other to shower the couple with expensive gifts.

After the wedding Simba and Bona flew to Seychelles for their honeymoon courtesy of former cabinet minister Walter Muzembi.
