I’m not coming there, PM tells chief
Lloyd Gumbo and Felex Share
PRIME Minister Morgan Tsvangirai says he will not attend today’s hearing at Chief Negomo’s traditional court arguing that the chief does not have jurisdiction to convene a customary court.
His lawyers, Dube, Manikai and Hwacha Legal Practitioners, wrote to the chief yesterday informing him that PM Tsvangirai will not show up.
Chief Negomo, Mr Luscious Chitsinde, on Wednesday summoned PM Tsvangirai to appear before his court in Chiweshe today for paying lobola to the Karimatsenga family in the month of November, which is considered sacred.
“We write to advise you formally that the Right Honourable Morgan Tsvangirai will not present himself before your court,” the lawyers said.
“From a legal point R/t Honourable Tsvangirai will not appear before your court because the entire process is manifestly illegal and void ab initio (from the beginning).
Cancel EasiPark deal, say councillors
Michael Chideme Municipal Reporter
HARARE City Council has resolved to end its parking partnership with EasiHold of South Africa following numerous problems.
The decision to end the deal in which council and EasiHold operate as EasiPark, was reached at council’s business committee meeting on Thursday.
The recommendation now awaits a full council meeting endorsement, but councillors say this will be a mere formality when the issue is discussed next Thursday.
Councillors have been against the deal from the start and at one time took council officials to task over its implementation.
Councillors want the management of parking bays and parkades returned to council.
The decision by the business committee, chaired by Councillor Thomas Muzuva, follows months of intense bickering between council and EasiHold.
The termination of the deal comes amid revelations that there was no binding contract between the two parties.
