Own Correspondent|Reports just received indicate that Moreprecision Muzadzi the man who has been involved in a long legal battle with the late MDC founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai has pushed for Tsvangirai’s estate executors to sell the former Prime Minister’s Strathaven house to recover $204 000 money he is owed by Tsvangirai.
Muzadzi approached the High Court applying for a judgement to be passed according to the offer.
Tsvangirai allegedly engaged Voice of People leader Muzadzi and Zimbabwe Development Party leader Mr Kisnot Mukwazhi to facilitate fellow opposition parties to throw their support behind him to avoid splitting votes during the 2013 harmonised elections.
Muzadzi is claiming the money for the role he says he played in setting up the coalition arrangement.
Initially, Muzadzi had cited Tsvangirai, his brother Manasa as well as former MDC vice president Morgen Komichi as respondents.
However, the High Court has since granted an order by consent allowing Tsvangirai to be replaced by his estate executors Innocent Chagonda and Charles Maunga.
Following the changes, on April 9, Mazadzi met with Manasa and agreed to a final offer as in US$84 000 granted by High Court judge Justice Owen Tagu on December 4 2017, breach of contract US$50 000, perjury US$40 000 and libel US$30 000.
No cent was paid and in his application, Muzadzi wrote that he was told that Tsvangirai’s estate has no money.
“The third defendant went to the executors with plaintiff to get funds but they said the estate had no ready funds but just the Strathaven house and cars.
In his founding affidavit, Muzadzi alleged that in January 2013, Tsvangirai agreed to engage him and his partner, Kisinoti Mukwazhe, to negotiate with opposition party leaders not to contest the 2013 Zimbabwe general elections, but support the now late leader’s presidential bid.
“Plaintiff and partner successfully negotiated with Simba Makoni, Dumiso Dabengwa, Margaret Dongo and 15 others to support Tsvangirai’s presidential candidature,” the High Court heard.
Muzadzi once told the High Court that when he asked for the payment, he was physically abused.
