THE MDC Alliance has castigated Bulawayo Mayor Solomon Mguni for ordering the ejection, from council chambers, of reinstated former deputy mayor, Tinashe Kambarami as a ward councillor.
Last week, the Supreme Court reinstated Kambarami as councillor for Ward 3.
The ruling came after Bulawayo High Court judge, Thompson Mabhikwa had in 2019 declared Kambarami’s win in the 2018 elections “null and void”.
He appealed against the High court ruling at the Supreme Court, which overturned Justice Mabhikwa’s ruling last week.
Armed with the Supreme Court ruling, Kambarami Wednesday attended a full council meeting at the local council chambers, but the move was swiftly blocked by Mguni and the town clerk, Christopher Dube.

THE Supreme Court has overturned a ruling by Bulawayo High Court judge, Thompson Mabhikwa declaring the 2018 election of former Bulawayo deputy mayor and Ward Three councillor Tinashe Kambarami null and void.
The Supreme Court’s ruling is however just academic as Kambarami has already been recalled from Bulawayo City Council by the Douglas Mwonzora led MDC-T.
In 2019, Justice Mabhikwa declared the election of Kambarami illegal after 1892 Mthwakazi Restoration Movement Trust and Nomalanga Dabengwa had approached the High Court challenging his election.
In his ruling, Justice Mabikwa ruled that Kambarami had violated Section 119 (2) (e) of the Electoral Act (Chapter 213) following his conviction for theft at the Bulawayo magistrates court under criminal record Book (CRB) number 1981/18 on June 2018.
