I had no comment after my 3rd reading of VP Mnangagwa's affidavit in Zibani's latest ConCourt case. Now I feel numb, shocked & embarrassed!
In his opposing affidavit as third respondent filed on Tuesday at the ConCourt, Chidyausiku said allegations made by Zibani were in disagreement with the law.
"I have read the court application filed under CCZ09/17 by the applicant and subject to the submissions to be made by my legal practitioners of record at the hearing of the matter (in order to assist this honourable court to reach a conclusion on the merits or demerits of the application). I confirm that I will abide by the decision of this honourable court," reads Chidyausiku's application.
"For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the correct legal position is at variance with the averments made by the applicant in casu, such averments are disputed and/or denied as if traversed seriatim."
Chidyausiku is represented by Addington Chinake of Kantor and Immerman Legal Practitioners.
In his application filed last week, Zibani, through his lawyer Jonathan Samukange of Venturas & Samukange Legal Practitioners, said retired Justice Vernanda Ziyambi was ineligible to sit on the bench, having retired on November 30 last year at 70.
