The Deputy Sheriff and ZRP cops stormed MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s Highlands mansion Tuesday morning.
The Court Official descended onto Tsvangirai’s house today accompanied by two trucks of armed riot police officers, acting on an old court order to recover debts accrued by Tsvangirai’s party.
Tsvangirai fell into debt soon after the just ended July 2013 elections as his party was also burdened with an employee liability due to labour court action.
It later emerged at mid day however that the debts at stake are not Tsvangirai’s but are those of the party.
While telephone calls to the MDC leader were not going through at the time of writing, his spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka later told ZimEye.com the police stormed Tsvangirai house “intending to embarrass him.”
“They then proceeded from his house to Harvest House but they left the office building with their tails firmly tucked between their legs.”
Tamborinyoka explained to ZimEye.com there is a court order issued on the 3rd of June barring the Deputy Sheriff from attaching anything.
“We just showed them the court order, and the whole plot to tarnish the image of Tsvangirai collapsed like a deck of cards,” he said.
