Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>HIGH Court judge, Justice David Mangota has moved to July 7 the hearing of a matter in which a Zanu PF activist Lovedale Mangwana is seeking to block former cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere from contesting in the general elections.<\/p>\n

The self-exiled former Zanu PF commissar filed his nomination papers in absentia last week, and his candidature was approved by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC).<\/p>\n

His lawyers said parties have been instructed to submit all necessary documents by July 5 before the court sits on the 7th.<\/p>\n

Mangwana took Kasukuwere, ZEC and Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi to court complaining that the nomination court erred by allowing Kasukuwere to contest in the August 23 plebiscite.<\/p>\n

The ruling party youth, a lawyer argued in his submissions Monday that Kasukuwere had ceased to be a registered voter as he has been out of his constituency for over 18 consecutive months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision by the Nomination Court to accept Kasukuwere\u2019s nomination papers is in violation of the constitution of Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1st respondent has not been resident in any constituency in the Republic of Zimbabwe for a period in excess of 18 consecutive months and his name cannot, by that circumstance, be retained on the voter\u2019s roll,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
