Mafume said the judgement was a strategy by President Emmerson Mnangagwa led administration to decimate the MDC.
"We are fully aware of the machinations and strategies being deployed by the Mnangagwa administration to destabilize and destroy the people's project. We reiterate that Emmerson Mnangagwa is illegitimate and no amount of diversionary tactics will change this fact."
Mafume added that, "For the avoidance of doubt, preparations for the main Congress are at an advanced stage and 6 800 delegates will attend. That process is irreversible. We shall hold a historic and joyous Congress under the theme: Defining a new course for Zimbabwe.
"In the past few months, over 500 000 members of the MDC have been involved in a process of electing their leaders at lower levels, from branch to the province. More particularly, over 10 200 branches, 1 958 wards, 210 districts and 13 provinces have been elected."
