The High Court of Zimbabwe has dismissed an application filed by lawyer and political activist Fadzai Mahere against Cabinet Minister Honourable Tino Machakaire, ruling that the matter had been improperly placed before the court.
In a judgment delivered recently, the court struck the application off the roll after finding that it had been filed irregularly.
Mahere had approached the court alleging defamation and contempt of court, arising from statements in which Honourable Machakaire reportedly accused her of corruption.
The court did not rule on the merits of the allegations, limiting its determination to procedural compliance.
