Police, court officials in cheap drama - MDC-T claims
21 Jul 2015 at 13:48hrs | Views
Two truckloads of armed riot police and state media journalists today accompanied the Messenger of Court in a cheap, well-choreographed drama ostensibly to embarrass President Tsvangirai and the Movement for Democratic Change.
The Messenger of Court initially wanted to attach property at President Tsvangirai's Highlands home before proceeding to Harvest House where he said he wanted to attach the party property as well.
He said they wanted to attach the property in favour of former party employees who had taken the party to court in a labour issue.
Curiously, the messenger of court wanted to attach the President Tsvangirai's property at his Highlands home when the party leader was never part of the dispute. However, the well-choreographed team the messenger of court, journalists and armed riot police moved from Highlands to Harvest House, where the President was having his meetings.
Upon arrival, the messenger of court, with his retinue of riot police in tow, was shown a court order in which the party had successfully won a stay of execution on the matter.
The Messenger of Court, the riot police and the state media journalists left Harvest House with their tails firmly tucked between their legs when the plot to tarnish President Tsvangirai and the party leadership dismally collapsed like a deck of cards.
