Mliswa demands trial over minister's gay storm

Former Zanu PF Mashonaland West provincial chairperson Temba Mliswa has petitioned the High Court, demanding to be urgently furnished with a trial date in a case where he is being sued by two Cabinet ministers Jonathan Moyo and Saviour Kasukuwere , whom he labelled as gay gangsters.

Mliswa, who is currently seeking election as independent Norton MP, said that he wrote to the Registrar of the High Court inquiring when the matter would go to trial.

Kasukuwere and Moyo were not immediately available for comment as their mobile phones went unanswered.

Their lawyer, Jonathan Samukange, revealed that he would be filing papers with the courts suing Mliswa for defaming his clients.
