Tyson gets court reprieve

INDEPENDENT presidential candidate Saviour Kasukuwere has been granted temporary reprieve after the High Court struck off the roll an application for execution of a judgment granted in favour of a Zanu PF activist who is seeking his disqualification from the presidential race.

In his application filed earlier this month, Zanu PF activist Lovedale Mangwana said he wanted the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) to go ahead and print ballot papers without Kasukuwere’s name.

However, when the matter was heard in chambers yesterday, High Court judge Justice David Mangota removed the matter from the roll of urgent matters, ordering each party to bear its own costs.
