By Paul Nyathi|The High Court has accepted the Zimbabwe Nurses Association urgent court application against Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s summarily dismissal of its striking members.

Justice Amy Tsanga set the court to sit on Friday to consider the urgent chamber application filed by the nurses, who are seeking nullification of their summary dismissal by Vice-President Chiwenga following an industrial action last week.

On Friday last week, Zina approached the court for recourse, arguing that Chiwenga had no authority to terminate their employment contracts.

The nurses, who are represented by Kantor and Immerman, cited the Health Services Board, Health minister David Parirenyatwa and Chiwenga as respondents.
