Court halts CCC recalls

HARARE High Court judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi has issued an interim interdict stopping self-imposed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) interim secretary-general Sengezo Tshabangu, from recalling the opposition party’s legislators and councillors until the matter has been finalised.

Shortly after the August 23 and 24 general elections, Tshabangu recalled 14 CCC MPs and 17 councillors accusing them of having ceased to be members of the opposition.

The CCC then challenged the move but could not  stop proclamation of the date for the by-elections.
