Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>EXILED former cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere is seeking to block an urgent hearing of his appeal challenging a High Court ruling blocking him from contesting as a presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere was recently blocked from contesting in the August 23 Presidential election by the High Court.<\/p>\n

High Court judge Justice David Mangota nullified Kasukuwere\u2019s nomination ruling that he should stop \u201cmasquerading as a candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

This followed an application by Zanu PF activist, Lovedale Mangwana who successfully argued that Kasukuwere had ceased to be a registered voter as he has been out of his constituency for over 18 consecutive months.<\/p>\n

However, Kasukuwere was back on the ballot paper after his legal team successfully appealed the nullification of his nomination at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

His appeal suspended the High Court order.<\/p>\n

Aggrieved, Mangwana also filed an appeal at the Supreme Court seeking an urgent hearing of Kasukuwere\u2019s application.<\/p>\n

The matter will be heard on Thursday at 1400hours.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere through his lawyer Method Ndlovu challenged Mangwana\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

Reasons will be cited in opposing papers to be filed by day end.<\/p>\n

The lawyers want the matter to remain on the normal roll.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere\u2019s spokesperson Jacqualine Sande said they need more time to prepare for their appeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a High Court by Justice Mangota which effectively barred the participation of Saviour Kasukuwere in the upcoming elections. However we filed an appeal and that appeal is not what was before this court today,\u201d she said further explaining that Mangwana\u2019s appeal is the one to be heard Thursday.<\/p>\n

After the High Court issued its judgment Kasukuwere\u2019s campaign manager Walter Mzembi said removing Kasukuwere from the polls does not translate into more votes for President Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

In a televised address, Mzembi blasted Mnangagwa for selecting his competitors whilst highlighting that threats will not deter them from participating in the polls.<\/p>\n
