Welshman Ncube says Chinamasa's application is weak

Welshman Ncube, leader of the MDC breakaway faction says Justice minister Patrick Chinamasa's application seeking an extension of the election date is "insufficient" and not expected from an experienced lawyer like him.

In a counter application filed yesterday, Ncube said Chinamasa's request was deliberately crafted in such a way that it fails.

He argued that the July 31 election date set by President Mugabe would not provide for a free and fair harmonised election due to time harmonised election due to time constraints.
