Tinashe Sambiri| MDC Alliance vice chairperson Hon Job Sikhala, who is also a legal practitioner has said Justice Erica Ndewere is a tough lady who refused to compromise professionalism to please Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Mnangagwa fired Justice Ndewere last week and analysts say the Zanu PF leader wants to muzzle independent voices in the judiciary system.

“This woman must be proud of herself. The people of Zimbabwe are proud of her.

She is so brave that Mnangagwa quaked in his shoes and decided to fire her.

What should make her proud is that the people of Zimbabwe are fully on her side.

On Mnangagwa’s are only dogs and reptiles.

Very sad in Zimbabwe in our judiciary. One of the most impartial adjudicators in Zimbabwe who stood her against the forces of judiciary capture has been forced off the bench.

When you eliminate one, other great people of integrity will emerge. I am with you in pain,” Hon Sikhala wrote on Twitter.
