By Dorrothy Moyo| The verdict for the Chamisa versus Khupe case is due in 6 days time.

The case which was via an urgent High Court chamber application over the use of the MDC-T party symbol and name, will be finalised next Tuesday.

The two appeared before the Bulawayo High Court judge, Justice Martin Makonese through their lawyers TJ Mabhikwa and Partners, and for Chamisa, Artherstone and Cook Legal Practitioners.

The lawsuit was filed by Nelson Chamisa and Khupe has to date opposed the application.

Chamisa is seeking an urgent chamber order to stop her and her colleagues, Mr Abednico Bhebhe and Obert Gutu, from “unlawfully exploiting and abusing its registered MDC-T trademark, symbols and signs.”

Chamisa says according to the parliament’s mandate, Khupe is not entitled to conduct a congress as she is expected to get clearance from the parliament’s secretariat. 

Arguing, Khupe’s lawyer, Professor Lovemore Madhuku, said Chamisa’s lawyers did not submit the MDC-T party’s constitution during the urgent application to the chamber.

He said this was because Chamisa knew that Khupe was the legitimate party leader.
