A Masvingo based lawyer has filed papers to sue Zanu PF and Econet Wireless for sending ruling party campaign messages via the SMS facility.

Omen Mafa of Mutendi, Shumba and Mudisi Legal Practitioners last week files papers at the Masvingo High Court citing Econet Wireless as the first respondent and Zanu PF as the second respondent.

Zanu PF last week posted campaign messages to Econet subscribers via the bulk SMS facility.

Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo told a weekly publication the ruling party was ready to defend its position in court.
