Malaba factional fight targets Chiwenga

SUSPECTED Zanu PF youths on Wednesday invaded the farm of war veteran and businessman Fred Mutanda, accusing him of teaming up with Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga and Judge President Justice George Chiweshe to undermine President Emmerson Mnangagwa by opposing the extension of Chief Justice (CJ) Luke Malaba’s term of office.

The CJ has been mired in controversy since the High Court ruled that he ceased to hold the highest Judiciary office in the land when he turned 70 on May 15, and that according to the Constitution, he was precluded from benefitting from an amendment that had been relied on by the President to extend his term by five more years.
