A video clip has gone viral on social media showing a 70-year-old Zimbabwean minister dancing after he married his 23-year-old lover.
According to New Zimbabwe, the Matebeleland North Provincial Governor Cain Mathema wedded his youthful wife Bathabetsoe Nare at a colourful wedding in Bulawayo.
Nare, a former Midlands State University student graduated in November this year.
Mathema could be seen in the video dancing in a jovial mood with his wife.
Mathema reportedly left his first wife for a house helper, whom he married customarily in 2009. The maid was only 20 years old at the time. He later left her for Nare after he met her while she was on attachment at a government complex in Bulawayo in 2014.
