In his opinion, published on 7 March 2021, Madhuku said that section 96(2) of the Constitution does not apply to the current Vice-Presidents and that the section will only apply to Vice-Presidents after the coming into force of the running mate clause. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- However, Political Science professor, Jonathan Moyo, Harare lawyer Advocate Thabani Mpofu and University of Kent law lecturer Alex Magaisa vehemently disagreed with Madhuku’s position.

The golden rule of statutory interpretation is the ordinary natural meaning of words.Your contextual approach in the context of this debate is pure witchcraft. > Your new found knack for defending the indefensible is particularly astounding given your roots. > Lovemore you very wrongThe golden rule of statutory interpretation is the ordinary natural meaning of words.Your contextual approach in the context of this debate is pure witchcraft.Your new found knack of defending the indefensible is particularly astounding given your roots https://t.co/jOjz7Nzz2j > — TENDAI BITI (@BitiTendai) March 9, 2021 According to online sources, Cadit quaestio is a Latin expression that is used to indicate that an issue is no longer in question, often because a dispute (question) between two parties has been either settled or dropped. The debate was triggered by former Vice President Kembo Mohadi’s resignation on 1 March 2021 after his illicit relationships with female staffers was exposed by ZimLive.com. President Emmerson Mnangagwa did not issue a statement on Mohadi’s resignation, with the likes of Magaisa saying the President’s silence was not in line with Constitutional demands, a position Madhuku disagreed with. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
