High Court Orders Minister Mukupe, Zanu-PF To Stop Disrupting MDC Alliance Rallies

Harare High Court judge Justice Esther Muremba has ordered Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Terrence Mukupe and the ruling Zanu-PF party to stop disrupting rallies organised by the opposition MDC Alliance. Justice Muremba ordered Mukupe and Zanu-PF to take steps to prevent their agents and supporters from intimidating or engaging in acts of political violence against the MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa.

The order was granted after 6 MDC Alliance supporters told the Electoral Court that ZANU PF supporters acting under the instructions of Mukupe randomly and mercilessly attacked MDC Alliance supporters and cars using stones. Two MDC Alliance supporters Clement Daudi and Prince Mutebuka were injured in one such attack while a vehicle belonging to Coster Kazingizi was damaged.
