MDC Alliance takes govt to court over Vic Falls mayor

THE MDC Alliance has taken Local Government minister July Moyo to court challenging his directive to reinstate
former Victoria Falls mayor Somvelo Dlamini.

Dlamini was replaced as mayor after councillors elected Rich Mguni who was deputised by Patricia Mwale on Thursday last week on the understanding that he was relinquishing his position effective July 1.

But Moyo last week reinstated Dlamini on the strength of a letter from MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora
directing his reinstatement.
