George Mlala who is vice-chairperson of a breakaway war veterans group fighting to take over control of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association, has filed a $15 000 defamation lawsuit against former War Veterans minister Tshinga Dube. Mlala argues Dube called him a fraudster, devil incarnate and an enemy of Zanu-PF while addressing a meeting of war veterans at Stanley Square in Bulawayo around July.
His High Court application reads:
Plaintiff’s claim is for payment by defendant of the sum of $15 000 being damages suffered by the plaintiff arising out of defamatory utterances of the defendant published by the defendant to members of the war veterans at a meeting held in Bulawayo.
