Just three days after Saviour Kasukuwere successfully filed his papers to the nomination court as a candidate in Zimbabwe’s presidential election, the state-controlled media is reporting that he has two arrest warrants hanging over his head.
Zimbabwe State owned media whose election reportage often reflects the thinking of ruling Zanu-PF Government is describing Kasukuwere as a “disgraced” and “fugitive former cabinet minister”. It says a warrant of arrest was issued by retired magistrate Hosea Mujaya on 18th January 2019.
Another warrant was issued after Kasukuwere failed to resubmit his passport to the clerk of court during the agreed period. With political temperatures rising in Zimbabwe, the threats to arrest Kasukuwere are introducing an interesting dynamic in the election discourse.
Addressing a Press conference in South Africa where he is exiled, Kasukuwere has said unleashing state institutions to arrest political opponents can only dent the credibility of Zimbabwe’s 23 August general elections.
We would recall that the Zimbabwean former Minister and Memeber of Parliament, Mr Saviour Kasukuwere filed his presidential election nomination papers to run as an independent candidate in the forthcoming Zimbabwe general election schedule to hold on the 23rd of June 2023.
