fuzwayo, who described himself as a long-time grassroots activist known for his human rights advocacy in matabeleland, has been accused by some political observers and civil society figures of fronting a “collusive or sham” court case intended to fail and create a legal precedent favourable to mnangagwa’s continued rule. however, in an interview with the newshawks, fuzwayo rejected the claims, describing them as malicious and unfounded. he insisted that his court application was genuine and motivated by a desire to defend the constitution against any attempt to unlawfully extend the president’s tenure.
“those who know me very well know that i’m a bona fide grassroots activist acting out of conscience, conviction, and a strong desire to defend the poor people’s rights, freedom, and dignity,” he said. “i have never aided or abetted zanu-pf in any way, shape, or form in my life, and i never will.” “we discussed what was to be done about mnangagwa’s term extension plan, which we strongly oppose, and we agreed that we should challenge it in court. “then someone leaked the draft. that caused some problems. that is when some lawyers and journalists came in and started writing these theories,” he said.
