Morgan Tsvangirai’s spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka’s application for an amendment of his claim into United States dollars was yesterday granted by High Court judge Hlekani Mwayera.
Tamborinyoka is demanding $200 000 compensation from the State after he was allegedly brutally attacked by police officers at Harare Central Police Station in 2007. In 2007 Tamborinyoka initially sought Z$20 billion, but now wants it to be substituted with $200 000 since the Zim dollar is no longer legal tender. His lawyer Charles Kwaramba yesterday confirmed that the application had been granted in their favour and had not been contested by the State.
In the application, Tamborinyoka cited Home Affairs minister Ignatius Chombo, Augustine Chihuri, assistant commissioner Musarashana Mabunda, police officers only identified as J Chani and Kambanje, and the officer-in-charge CID Law and Order, as respondents.
