Justice Chinembiri Bhunu has recommended the prosecution of lawyers representing Mr Morgan Tsvangirai after the Electoral Court dismissed the MDC-T leader’s application which sought to compel the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to release of election material used in the 2013 harmonised election.
The prosecution will be for the “averments” made by the MDC-T leader against the judiciary.
Justice Bhunu ruled that the lawyers representing Mr Tsvangirai were in contempt of the court and asked the Attorney-General to take appropriate action in terms of the law.
Mr Tsvangirai was represented by Advocate Lewis Uriri as lead counsel, Alec Muchadehama and T. Mutangi.
The MDC-T was reported to have said Zimbabwe’s judiciary was an appendage of Zanu-PF and hence his efforts to quash the victory of President Mugabe would, in his view, hit a brickwall.
