Peter Moyo Pays Lobola

He paid lobola to Makamache’s family. Moyo’s girlfriend is based in the United States and will be married in absentia.
Contrary to rumours that she provided the lobola funds, inside sources revealed to the Zim Morning Post that Moyo had been raising funds for this event through an agricultural enterprise.
The source who spoke to the publication on condition of anonymity said:
Peter has been saving proceeds from his farming business. He has chickens in Mbizo and a vibrant horticulture farming business in Sesombe. Music has not been yielding any financial results because of the lockdown so he was concentrating on farming.
Moyo and Caroline have been dating for a long time. At some point, Makamache bought a surprise gift of a BMW for Peter Moyo.
It is not clear how much bride price (lobola) Peter Moyo paid for Caroline Makamache.
At one time the late sungura legend Tongai Moyo’s son was reportedly advised to stop having multiple love affairs.
Moyo has been linked to a number of women including Botswana singer Slizer who threatened to expose the musician claiming he had lied about their affair.
He claimed the reports about his affair with Slizer had affected his relationship with his Zimbabwean girlfriend. In the past Moyo confirmed his alleged relationship with Mercy Gumbo and the two later made counter accusations when they fell out.
The musician went on to claim that he was in a relationship with another girl identified as Melissa. In 2012, another of Moyo’s alleged girlfriends died in a car crash along Borrowdale Road. This led to the unearthing of the deceased’s romantic pictures with Moyo in a hotel room. The cozy images were stored in the deceased’s cellphone and it was not clear how the images ended up circulating on Whatsapp.
In 2013, Moyo clashed with fellow singer Dino Mudondo over a girl named Ruth. Ruth is originally from Gweru and she was a regular at both Mudondo and Moyo’s shows.
