Decorated constitutional lawyer Fadzayi Mahere is struggling to clear her name following widespread criticism over her role in the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) corruption scandals after it emerged she represented Metbank against the social security authority.
Social media has been awash with messages in which people claim opposition lawyers are double dipping by criticizing corruption yet at the same time they represent the same criminals fingered in corrupt shenanigans.
“The joke mukoma is that the Metbank lawyer @advocatemahere also happens to be the MDC Secretary for Sports & she also represented the current but embattled Zimbabwe Cricket chairman who is a ZANUPF MP. @nelsonchamisa you guys are not serious. Senator @DavidColtart deal with this,” wrote one Twitter user.
“This is a profession, Fadzie. You don’t owe anyone any explanation. You didn’t solicit for this case, would a Dr deny to treat Chiwenga just because he/she is MDC? That’s how you make a living. I hope you stop explaining yourself,” another user tweeted.
Mahere in her response to one of the Twitter users had this to say;
Which criminal case did I argue? What was the charge? https://t.co/hB5OwfzGf6
