Binga MP loses court case against Zanu PF council boss

BINGA North MDC-T MP, Prince Dubeko Sibanda has lost a case against the area’s rural district council chief executive officer, Joshua Muzamba, whom he wanted fired from the local authority’s top post because he was a Zanu PF central committee member.

Sibanda had approached the Bulawayo High Court seeking an order to have Muzamba discharged from council duties, arguing that it was unconstitutional for him to continue to serve as a public officer because he was a Zanu PF member.

But Muzamba, through his lawyer, Christopher Dube-Banda, challenged the application, saying Sibanda should have also sued the RDC chairperson and Rural Development, Preservation of Culture and Heritage minister Abednico Ncube.
