*MDC To Appeal High Court Ruling On Kambarami* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?xz The opposition MDC said that it will appeal the High Court ruling that nullified Tinashe Kambarami’s election as councillor for Ward 3 and Bulawayo deputy mayor. Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Thompson Mabhikwa last week reversed Kambarambi’s election on the basis that he was a convict. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Said Chorowodza: > We are appealing to the Supreme Court. The court cannot assign itself the powers to unseat a sitting councillor because those powers are vested in a tribunal set up by the Minister of Local Government in terms of Section 278 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. > For a High Court judge to call such a strong constitutional argument ‘a legal nicety’ is a misdirection. The Constitution could not have been clearer in so far as the procedure to remove a sitting councillor is concerned. > … His worship, the deputy mayor of Bulawayo, councillor Tinashe Kambarami remains the elected people’s councillor. > His Worship, the deputy mayor of Bulawayo, councillor Kambarami will not be toppled by a litigant who is a mere simulacrum or sham device of the establishment. Kambarami’s election was challenged by political pressure group 1893 Mthwakazi Restoration Movement Trust. Justice Mabhikwa granted the pressure group’s request. *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
