MDC leader Nelson Chamisa defeats Thokozani Khupe in court

MDC leader Nelson Chamisa defeats Thokozani Khupe in court.MDC President Nelson Chamisa has scored against MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe whose application demanding damages from the Parliament of Zimbabwe was thrown out by the Constitutional Court bench.Khupe rushed to court after she was booted out of the parliament by the speaker Jacob Mudenda after the Nelson Chamisa led MDC wrote that she no longer represented interests of the party.


Through her lawyer Lovemore Madhuku, Khupe claimed Chamisa had no authority to fire her from the party.She said as such the parliament should not have expelled her.But on Wednesday, a full ConCourt bench chaired by Justice Luke Malaba dismissed her application without giving further reasons.“The application is hereby dismissed with no order as to costs,” Malaba said.Khupe was fired from the MDC-T party last year after she lost a three-way power struggle that also involved another party deputy president, Elias Mudzuri following the death of founding president, Morgan Tsvangirai.


The MDC-T’s national council appointed Chamisa acting party president and a disaffected Khupe branched off with her supporters to form her own MDC-T party.Madhuku had argued that his client was prejudiced of her benefits when she was “unceremoniously” expelled, adding she was mulling suing for damages.He said the case was not a moot one because if it is established that she was unconstitutionally expelled, she will be entitled to her benefits.“She lost her benefits in terms of salary and allowances.

She can sue for damages against the second respondent (Parliament) if it is established that she was not constitutionally removed,” Madhuku said.Khupe was an MDC-T Proportional Representation Member of Parliament.Mudenda was represented by Advocate Thabani Mpofu who argued that Khupe had no prospects of success in her application.MDC leader Nelson Chamisa defeats Thokozani Khupe in court.MDC President Nelson Chamisa has scored against MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
