By A Correspondent- The weekend High Court anti-Malaba judgement has exposed the fierce infighting happening within the ruling Zanu PF party.

High Court Judges, Justices Happias Zhou, Edith Mushore and Jesta Charehwa at the weekend ruled that incumbent judges of the senior courts could not benefit from an amendment to the Constitution extending their term limits.

The ruling had the effect of retiring Zimbabwe’s Chief Justice, Luke Malaba, who turned 70 — the legal retirement age — at midnight Saturday.

The court ruled that the amendment needs to be put to a public referendum and automatically reversed the reappointment last week of Chief Justice Luke Malaba by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
