Farai Dziva|The lawyer representing Thokozani Khupe, Lovemore Madhuku has said the legal wrangle between his client and Nelson Chamisa is not over.

Speaking to ZimEye, Prof Madhuku said the case is one of two. He said,

“that case you are referring to, it is an old case, it is a last year where she was challenging her expulsion from parliament where she was expelled from parliament so she took the speaker of parliament to the constitutional court. So the matter was between her and parliament. It was not between her and the other MDC. So when this matter was not heard before the election, because it was only set down for hearing after the election, I am sure it’s around August or so, I think it was around December last year, I will check that.

“Then the concourt decided not to deal with the matter on the bits at hand, it was overtaken by events, because parliament had already been dissolved, so we sought to argue that even though parliament had been dissolved, they should still determine whether her expulsion from parliament had been properly done, so what was decided today was the court refusing to hear that argument on the basis that they thought it was no longer relevant to hear it and determine.

“That is the judgement that was issued today. It’s not a judgement issued on the merits on anything. It was an old case, relating to her having been recalled from parliament.”
