Citizens Against Violence and Anarchy Trust (CAVAAT) organisation had its application to sue the National Electoral Reform Agenda (NERA) granted by the High Court. NERA is being sued for the losses suffered due to looting and destruction of property in Harare’s Central Business District last year during demonstrations on the 26th of August.
Last year, CAVAAT sought permission from the High Court to institute a class action lawsuit against NERA. CAVAAT wants NERA to compensate the victims for the losses suffered.
In their application CAVAAT had stated:
It is only fair, reasonable, necessary and justifiable that the respondent be held liable for the loss or damage of property suffered by ordinary citizens.
We Will Update as more Information comes in.
