The High Court has granted an Interdict to Minister of Local Government, public works and national housing to stop recalling Mayor Jacob Mafume, and at the same time reinstate Bulawayo ward 4 Councillor Arnold Batirayi and Mutare Ward 12 Councillor Simon Chabuka.

The Minister of Local Government and Harare Council both consented to the order.
