  1. Ku court kunoda evidence kwete kungomuka uchiti ndave kuenda ku court usina chaunacho. Vamwe vanofanira kudzidza kubva kuna Chamisa kuti hazviitwe zvekuenda ku court

  2. Challenging is not wrong, but challenging without evidence is like asking for embarrassment in court like what we recently witnessed.

  3. I think every Zimbabwean has become a lawyer after the Concourt Show. Now I know latin terms and their meanings, you can share these with your mother in law who will obviously know most of them of cousrse
