Tshabangu approached the High Court seeking an order to prevent his recall, naming his party, the Speaker of Parliament, and the President of the Senate as the first, second, and third respondents, respectively.
In the interdict matter, Justice Zimba-Dube recorded an undertaking from the first respondent (CCC) not to recall Tshabangu or undermine case number HCH 830/25, which pertains to Tshabangu’s court case against his expulsion. The Speaker of Parliament’s lawyers acknowledged the order.
As reported by the Chronicle, in the declaratory matter, the respondents must file their opposing papers by Tuesday, 4 March 2025, while the applicants must submit their answering affidavit and heads of argument by Monday, 10 March 2025.
The case is scheduled for a hearing on Thursday, 13 March 2025. Tshabangu has cited Sesel Zvidzai, Concillia Chinanzvavana, Gilbert Kadogora, Shepherd Mushonga, and the CCC as the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth respondents, respectively. These people were members of the disciplinary committee that expelled him.
This interim order ensures that Tshabangu will retain his parliamentary seat while his legal challenge progresses.
Holding on to something acquired through fraudulent and un orthodox means is pure sin and thuggery.Zimbabwe has got plenty of wisemen and academics who can bring about change and steer the country to prosperity.However, such efforts are being hindered by people like Tshabangu who seem to be benefiting from the ruthless regime.How come his name is popping out now when the CCC is about to bring change….why was he silent all along?
