ED legitimacy hearing in 2 weeks

THE High Court will on September 21 hear an application filed by Zanu PF member Sybeth Musengezi, who is seeking to nullify President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ascendancy to the leadership of the party following the November 2017 coup. 

Mnangagwa was fired as Vice-President of both Zanu PF and government by then President Robert Mugabe early in November 2017 for failing to meet expectations of the high office.

A few weeks later, Mnangagwa bounced back to lead the country and the party via a military coup.
