Former ZANU PF politburo member Jonathan Moyo has pocked holes on ZANU PF Claims that MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa's presidential results petition was filed late saying this was contrary to the dictates of the law as guided by the Concourt rules.
"Nelson Chamisa's ConCourt application whose evidence shows, prima facie that the presidential election result declared by @ZECzim is fake. They're peddling fallacies; hoping the matter will be decided on technicalities & not on merit," Moyo tweeted.
"One fallacy is that the 7 days of filing the application from the date #ZEC declared its fake result on 3 August, expired yesterday. Wrong. The 7 days will expire on 16 August 2018. Section 3(1) & (2) of SI 61 of 2016 (ConCourt Rules), EXCLUDES weekends & public holidays!"
"Another fallacy out there is that the matter must be determined within 14 days of the filing of application. Nope. Section 23(7) of SI 61 of 2016 (ConCourt Rules) says "The Registrar shall SET THE MATTER DOWN for determination within 14 days of the filing of the application."
He ssid that the Registrar SHALL SET DOWN the matter for determination within 14 days of the filing of the application means that the "set down" can even be on the 14th day but that does not mean the matter would be determined on that day. Mnangagwa & his cronies should take it easy!
