Prosecutor-General Johannes Tomana faces contempt of court charges for allegedly defying a court order directing his office to issue a certificate for the private prosecution of Telecel Zimbabwe (Private) Limited shareholder, Jane Mutasa.
Mutasa is accused of swindling the company of more than $1,7 million of airtime recharge vouchers.
Telecel lawyer Isaiah Mureriwa wrote to the PG's lawyers Mambosasa Legal Practitioners asking them to advise their client to act on the Constitutional Court ruling in favour of the mobile phone operator.
He threatened to press contempt of court charges against Tomana and his office for defying the court.
But the Prosecutor-General's lawyer Alex Mambosasa said his client was still waiting for reasons of the Constitutional Court's decision for him to take appropriate action on the matter.
The Constitutional Court last month upheld a Supreme Court decision that gave Telecel the green light to privately prosecute Mutasa.
