Mujuru's bond notes court challenge dismissed with costs

Zimbabwe People First leader, Dr Joice Teurai Ropa Mujuru's  Constitutional Court application seeking direct access to the highest court on the land challenging the introduction of bond notes has been dismissed with costs.

Dr Mujuru who was represented by Professor Lovemore Madhuku instructed by George Nyandoro was slapped with costs.

In its judgment the highest court in the land found Dr Mujuru's application premature and speculative.

The court ruled there was no factual basis on the likelihood of applicant's fundamental rights being infringed given that there is no reason to prove that the executive is going to act unlawfully by introducing bond notes without following due process.

The court said the matter was not yet ripe to be brought to the con-court as there was no violation of applicant's constitutional rights or likelihood of such.

It also contended that there is nothing wrong in Dr Mujuru waiting for the introduction of the bond notes first then pursuing a legal challenge on an urgent basis if there is an infringement.
