Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former Presidential Guard commander, retired Brigadier-General Anselem Sanyatwe will tie the knot with Nyanga North MP Chido Sanyatwe (ZANU PF) on Saturday, 06 August.<\/p>\n

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been invited to be the guest of honour at the wedding which will take place at the Roman Catholic Church\u2019s Regina Coeli Mission.<\/p>\n

Chido confirmed the wedding when contacted for comment by NewsDay. She said:<\/p>\n

Yes, the wedding is on tomorrow and I am encouraging drivers to be cautious on our roads. Preparations are at an advanced stage.<\/p>\n

Sanyatwe, who is Zimbabwe\u2019s Ambassador to Tanzania, flew into the country this week from Dar es Salaam ahead of the wedding.<\/p>\n

Top army officials and ZANU PF bigwigs are set to attend the wedding.<\/p>\n

Sanyatwe married Chido under traditional custom in 2000 before having a court wedding in 2004.<\/p>\n

Both are members of the Roman Catholic Church and according to the rules of the church, they need to have a white wedding in the church.<\/p>\n

As commander of the Presidential Guard, Sanyatwe was the tactical commander of the force deployed on 1 August 2018 to disperse protestors who were demonstrating over the perceived delay in announcing the results of the 30 July elections.<\/p>\n

The soldiers used live ammunition on fleeing protestors and innocent bystanders resulting in the death of six and injuries to dozens.<\/p>\n

In February 2019, Sanyatwe retired from the military and was appointed ambassador to Tanzania in the same month.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the United States imposed sanctions on Sanyatwe and on former State Security minister Owen Ncube, accusing them of human rights abuses.<\/p>\n
