He will make the decision when he rules on the urgency of a chamber application in which the President is seeking a further extension of the by-elections deadline from October 1 to March 31 next year.
President Mugabe has since indicated that he wants to call for harmonised elections in the last week of March next year.

The AG’s Office is the one representing President Mugabe in the case.
Ms Mtetwa also argued that the matter was not urgent considering that the same request for postponement of compliance with the Supreme Court
