Thokozani Khupe’s deputy, Obert Gutu has described MDC Alliance leader and presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa as a cheap junior lawyer with no respect for the country’s judiciary, as the temperatures heat up ahead of the July 30 elections.

Gutu said Chamisa will be thrashed in the July 30 elections, and that they (the MDC-T) will teach Chamisa some lesson in basic law if he rescucitates the court challenge which he shelved a few days ago to concentrate on the elections.

“A cheap,junior lawyer who has got no respect for our judiciary is welcome to resuscitate the MDC name and logo legal battle after he is thrashed in the July 30 elections. We’ll teach him a lesson in basic law,” wrote Gutu on his Twitter page.

Chamisa’s lawyer asked the High Court to downgrade the matter from urgent basis as it is election season and they are seized with election campaigns.

Chamisa apprpached the courts seeking to bar Thokozani Khupe’s camp from using the MDC-T name and logo following the death of founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai.
