Chief Justice averts crisis at Air Zimbabwe

Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku last week swiftly moved in and issued an interdict order blocking the Deputy Sheriff from attaching Air Zimbabwe's fire engines over a $3 million debt.

The attachments could have paralyzed all operations at Harare International Airport.

The interdict order came after Caaz general manager David Chawota last month filed an urgent Supreme Court chamber application to stop the attachments.

Chawota took up the matter with the Supreme Court after High Court Judge Justice Happias Zhou had dismissed his application for stay of execution.
