Chin’ono Challenged to assist CCC to overcome Court Challenges

I suggested that the opposition should go to the High Court over the Voters Roll issues so that there is a record that they went there, and that the court didn’t rule based on law, but pro-ZANU politics.

The opposition can now take that record to all Election Observers and say, “….look at our constitution, this is what it says, but this is how the High Court ruled.”

It gives the Election Observers a leg to stand on when approaching the dictatorship about this election.
We want Election Observers to fix issues now not after the election.

Today the opposition went to the Magistrates court, I knew that they wouldn’t win because the magistrates court has ceased to apply law on political matters that involve the opposition and ZANUPF.

But it is important that they now have a record which shows that they approached the court, and that it broke its own rules which said the matter should be heard and solved by 12 midday.

More importantly, it broke the law which says YOU (political party) must notify the police 3 days in advance, instead of the 5 days which the court and police mentioned.
The court erred, and that record is important when making that argument.

The opposition should take this evidence to the Election Observers today or tomorrow.

They should now appeal that ruling at the High Court although the event has passed.

The appeal serves to set a president for future rallies from a higher court.

Instead of arguing to win an argument, we should argue to learn from each other and engage, don’t be defensive!

Courts are captured, but they should be used to expose the regime, but that doesn’t mean to say that when we say they are captured, we shouldn’t go to them.

I had 3 cases of political persecution in the magistrates courts.
I was there for 3 years and they were all thrown out by the High Court because my lawyers knew how to deal with the system.
