US was aware Chombo had two wives five years before divorce

United States embassy officials in Harare were aware that Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo had two “wives” almost five years before his acrimonious divorce with his first wife Marian. Both wives were on the United States sanctions list way back in 2005.

According to a diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks which was dispatched by the embassy on 11 July 2005, Chombo’s spouses were listed as Marian Chombo, wife of Ignatius Chomo and Naneti Silukhumi, second wife of Ignatius Chombo. Another cable (05Harare995) with similar information was dispatched on 20 July.

During Chombo’s divorce hearing with Marian it was claimed that Nanette had married Chombo under customary law and was not aware that Chombo was married to Marian. Marian also married Chombo under customary law in 1985 but had the marriage formalised in 1993.

COURVILLE    E.O. 12958: DECL: 12/31/2010  TAGS: PREL EFIN PINR PHUM PGOV ZI SUBJECT: ZIMBABWE FINANCIAL SANCTIONS - SUGGESTED ADDITIONS  AND DELETIONS    REF: HARARE 951    Classified By: Charge d'Affaires, a.i., Eric T. Schultz under Section 1  .4 b/d    -------  Summary  -------    ¶1. (SBU) In response to the flawed March parliamentary  elections, the EU,s new sanctions list, and the GOZ,s  brutal Operation Restore Order, Post suggests the additions  and deletions to the financial sanctions list detailed below.   Post relayed suggested additions and deletions to the visa  sanctions list via reftel.    ------------------  Names To Be Added  ------------------    ¶2. (SBU) As the ruling party for the past 25 years, ZANU-PF  has placed its firm imprint onto the decision-making  processes of the GOZ.  For example, any policy decisions are  first discussed by the party Politburo and then passed on to  the Cabinet (consisting of Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and  Provincial Governors) for comment and approval.  In this  process, any member of the Politburo and/or Cabinet has an  opportunity to suggest, support, and/or oppose particular  policies brought before each body.  As such, each Politburo  member, Minister, and Deputy Minister has a direct impact and  say in ZANU-PF and GOZ official policies.  This includes the  passage of significant pieces of legislation, such as the  Public Order and Security Act (POSA) and Access to  Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) which have  been central to the decline of democracy and rule of law in  Zimbabwe.  It also includes the conception and implementation  of policies that have undermined public welfare and rule of  law, such as Operation Restore Order.  Therefore, we propose  that Politburo and Cabinet members not already sanctioned be  added to the financial sanctions list.    ¶3.  (SBU) In addition, we propose inclusion of the most  senior officials of the Zimbabwe Election Commission, the  Electoral Supervisory Commission, and the Zimbabwean police  to the financial sanctions list.  They played key roles in  suborning the integrity of Zimbabwean elections conducted  during the past five years, including most recently the March  2005 parliamentary elections.  The police leadership has also  been instrumental in the application of Zimbabwean law in a  manner that undermines human rights, democracy, and rule of  law.    ¶4.  (SBU) To the extent possible, we also favor the inclusion  of the spouses and the children of sanctioned individuals on  the financial sanctions list.    ¶5. (SBU) Cabinet officials:    -David Chapfika, Deputy Minister of Finance (04/01/1957);  -Phineas Chihota, Deputy Minister of Industry and  International Trade;  -Chen Chimutengwende, Minister of State for Public and  Interactive Affairs (DOB 8/28/1943);  -Abigail Damasane, Deputy Minister of Women,s Affairs,  Gender, and Community Development;  -Tichoana Jokonya, Minister of Information and Publicity  (DOB: 12/27/1938);  -Andrew Langa, Deputy Minister of Environment and Tourism  (DOB: 01/13/1965);  -Joel Biggie Matiza, Deputy Minister of Rural Housing and  Social Amenities (DOB 8/17/1960);  -Obert Matchalaga, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs;  -Bright Matonga, Deputy Minister of Information and Publicity  (DOB 1969);  -Edwin Muguti, Deputy Minister of Health and Child Welfare  (DOB: 1965);  -Munacho Mutezo, Minister of Water Resources and  Infrastructural Development;  -Ambrose Mutinhiri, Minister for Youth Development and      Employment Creation (DOB: 03/03/1944);  -Sylvester Nguni, Deputy Minister of Agriculture (DOB  8/4/1955);  -Michael Nyambuya, Minister of Energy and Power Development;  -Magadzire Hubert Nyanhongo, Deputy Minister of Transport and  Communications;  -Morris Sakabuya, Deputy Minister of Local Government, Public  Works, and Urban Development;  -Webster Shamu, Minister of Policy Implementation (DOB:  06/06/1945);  -Samuel Undenge, Deputy Minister of Economic Development;  -Patrick Zhuwao, Deputy Minister for Science and Technology.  -Tinaye Chigudu, Provincial Governor of Manicaland;  -Ray Kaukonde, Provincial Governor for Mashonaland East (DOB:  03/04/1963);  -Cain Mathema, Provincial Governor of Bulawayo (DOB:  01/28/1948);  -Cephas Msipa, Provincial Governor for Midlands (DOB:  07/07/1931);  -Nelson Tapera Crispen Samkange, Provincial Governor of  Mashonaland West;    ¶6.
