The home of Zanu PF activist Sybeth Musengezi who is challenging the legitimacy of President Emmerson Mnangagwa was on Saturday night set ablaze by yet to be indentified assailants.
Musengezi is currently seeking to overturn Mnangagwa’s ascendency to the post of Zanu PF’s president.
This week Musengezi approached the Supreme Court challenging a High Court’s decision to join another party activist, Goodson Nguni in court proceedings.
In the broader scheme of the matter, Musengezi argues that Mnangagwa illegally took advantage of a military intervention which removed the late ‘President Robert Mugabe’ in November 2017.
Recently, Nguni through his organisation Federation of non-Governmental Organisation Trust was allowed to join proceedings by a High Court judge after he indicated he was an interested party.
Musengezi feels the judge president, Justice Mary Zimba Dube erred in reaching that decision.
“The High Court erred in adjudging that first Respondent ( Federation of non-Governmental Organisation Trust) had the requisite locus standi to institute the proceedings that it did in circumstances where the law prescribes that it is not a legal persona and cannot thus initiate litigation,” Musengezi wrote in his Supreme Court application.
“No evidence had been placed before it of the trustees of the first Respondent and the authority upon which the second Respondent was acting. The court aquo erred and grossly misdirected itself in granting an order for joinder where no case had been pleaded by the first and Nguni against the appellant (Musengezi).”
