If @nelsonchamisa had intended for his foreign-based players to argue his case, he wouldn’t have waited until the last hour of last week Friday to make the application for a permit. This is all political theatre. At our expense as a nation. For his benefit. — @TinoChinyoka.
*** So those respondents who wanted to backdoor the Court thrown out. Court rules must be followed. — @CharityManyeruke *** At times it is #Evidence that matters and needed in Court and not just #waffling, let MDC-Alliance not confuse the two. — @PaidaMutsva. ***
“Mr Mpofu, if you allege that some V11 forms were tampered with, surely the best way to prove this is to go to the respective ballot boxes?” Ndopaperera sarungano. — @nicolehondo.
*** Thabani Mpofu was going on a tangent . . . He failed dismally. Eloquence doesn’t count in these cases, what counts are the real facts on matters of law. MDC simply has no case, it’s a waste of time. The judges will certainly agree with ZANU-PF lawyers in almost every aspect. — @ KMutisi.
*** @edmnangagwa is not just an internationally respected statesman, but a prolific lawyer. There’s no doubt he’ll accept the Concourt’s determination. @nelsonchamisa who has practised within the same justice system must also respect the Bench, not just when it suits him. — @mayor-justice.
*** Let’s respect the decision of the Concourt. All well-meaning and patriotic Zimbabweans shouldn’t denigrate the integrity of the Judiciary. — @GutuObert.
*** There were 47 local authorities that were not contested. The MDC-Alliance didn’t field candidates in 2 parliamentary elections. This accounts partly for the difference between the voter turnout for presidential and parliamentary elections. — @nickmangwana.
*** If you’re watching the Concourt session, if you hear what the CJ is asking Adv T Mpofu, you’ll understand that this is not a press conference. It’s serious business. — @Tinamate Midzi.
*** Met one of the guys in @nelsonchamisa’s legal team during lunch break. His summary of court case so far was “Thabani amira-mira asi hmmm.” —@ cemambo.
*** Justice Hlatshwayo makes a point to debunk the false narratives and theories that the Tsvangirai election challenge results were still to be dealt with. He says facts are that those cases were dealt with and results released. — @nickmangwana.
*** Can’t wait for the Constitutional Court to pass its verdict. I foresee the MDC shattered and political careers ruined. Go ConCourt go! — Grace Mhangura.
*** The MDC-Alliance leadership lost the elections because of their support for ZDERA. Frivolous legal gymnastics will not assist those who support sanctions to govern this great nation. — Cde Mzvinavhu.
