Chamisa begs for funds to pay legal costs and to challenge ConCourt ruling


0

The Sunday Mail said the bill for Mnangagwa’s lawyers could be as high as $3 million.

It will also have to pay the legal costs of its own local lawyers.

The South African lawyers that the party hired told the Sunday Times that they had not charged the Alliance any fees because the party was “broke” and had even paid their own air fares.

It is not clear whether they also footed their bill at the five-star hotel in Harare where they stayed.

The Alliance says that the grounds for the petition to the ACHPR are the flagrant and multiple violations of the universal human rights of the voters and people of Zimbabwe by the current Zimbabwean regime and the Constitutional Court, including:

  1. The right to free and fair elections
  2. The right to a fair hearing before an impartial court
  3. The right to legal representation by counsel of choice
  4. The right against undue political interference; and
  5. The right to be governed by a legitimate government.

One of the followers on Hwende’s facebook page, Bryt Mashembah, said in response to the fundraising campaign: “I donate, with passion…”

Beverley Kilpin-Peel, however, said: “Chamisa is a foolish man leading fools. Majority of the people in the rural areas who voted for him were Mugabe’s supporters through a protest vote. They’ll repent and return to ZANU PF!”

Samukele Mpala Mawere said: “It’s along walk to Freedom indeed take heart maChinja it will never come in a silver platter.Mandela spent 29 years in prison ours is different but okusalayo Freedom is coming nomater how long it takes.”

Elton Johnson Wellington responded: “We’re poor and unemployed and therefore you need our pockets to become dry but why Mr Chalton Hwende continue challenging something that will never happen let’s wait for 2023. Zimbabwe is not included in the African Courts if you look it very well!.”

Nicholas Time, added: “Pa last donation takazoona vamwe vo driver Range rover.”

Donations are, however, pouring in.

Though it is not possible to establish how much has been deposited into the Ecocash account, some £5 966 had already been contributed to the GoFundMe platform by 275 donors in 20 hours.
