Mahere Defiant Despite Court's Dismissal Of MDCA Application

MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the party had noted Justice Tawanda Chitapi of the Harare High Court’s ruling on its application seeking to stop the MDC-T party from recalling more of its MPs from parliament.

Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom soon after Justice Chitapi ruled that the MDC Alliance was not a juristic person capable of suing or being sued, Mahere asserted that the MDC Alliance was, and remains a political party. She said:

Political parties aren’t created in the courtroom.

Political parties are voluntary associations. We don’t become a political party because the court said so; we become a political party because we are.

That’s why we contested in 2018, that’s why we fought the presidential election petition in 2018.

The Constitutional Court accepted that the MDC Alliance is a political party, (Emmerson) Mnangagwa knows that the MDC Alliance is a political party and Parliament knows that we’re a political party so we will continue to exist as such.

Mahere added that the party will not focus on individuals’ political ambitions, but will instead, focus on fighting for the well-being of Zimbabweans. She said:

The outcome of the court application is, it (the court interdict) was dismissed. We are going to continue focusing on fighting for Zimbabweans and championing the issues that Zimbabweans face.

The party is not going to be reduced to focusing on a sterile debate about people’s individual political ambitions, which is what this court case is about.
