By Paul Nyathi | The leader of the opposition MDC Professor Welshman Ncube is representing former Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko in court to push government to pay Mphoko a hefty exit package after being removed from the V P position in November.
Mphoko is reportedly taking government to court demanding that he be accorded a pension and exit package of a Vice President as stipulated in the constitution.
Section 102 of the constitution stipulates that a former President or former Vice President is entitled to a pension equivalent to the salary and benefits of the seating President or Vice President.
Mphoko’s demands come after President Emmerson Mnangagwa revealed a huge exit package for former President Robert Mugabe which left many people shocked.
Ncube confirmed to the state media that he is the legal representative of the beleaguered former Vice President.
The MDC-T, a coalition partner to Ncube in the MDC Alliance strongly condemned Mnangagwa for giving Mugabe the hefty exit package.
Ncube is the spokesperson of the Alliance.

It’s about money, not law. A lawyer should not dump his conscience for money.
I know the law is an ass. I am a student at law. And my butt happens to have more brain than your head.
Mphoko will win. It’s an open and shut case.
You are thinking with your butt. It is about the law which, if you do not already know, is a silly ass.
I agree. They leave a lot to be desired.
He is right he must get it.if Mugabe is getting it so as himself he must also get fair deal what is so special about Mugabe.well done ✅ Mphoko
Pension for staying in the hotel for many years…Mr Mphoko who will believe your story?
Is it not that pension is given to pple who formal resigned and or their term came to an end like Morgan or Bob? Did he resigned or was fired or coz his boss resigned he is automatically resigned?
So the Alliance spokesman fights tooth and nail to see that the third most powerful man in Mugabe’s former government, which they loved to see go, is paid handsomely for his efforts OF repressing the MDC’s and the rest of the nation while he was still in office? Am I seeing too much here or is this a tribal thing? “You-gave-a-muShona-that-much-now-give-one-of-us-too” kind of thing????
You used all your pension at the Rainbow hotel, would advise you to go and negotiate with them!
Welshman zvekudzingirirana ne Mboko siyana nazvo
correct the youngsters need to be galvanised to go and register and you waste time on this Mboko business, i do not get it
This big headed man with bird-size brains loves $ like a hotel – hooker. Shame on you
The unwarranted rewarding of the chief looter of looters cannot be ignored. I hope the courts will expose farther the confusion of this junta that is representing looters and kidnappers
These so called MDC fools don’t get it. Instead of campaigning for elections they are busy supporting the looting of the national purse.
