The Constitutional Court yesterday dismissed an application by Levi Nyagura.
Nyagura approached the apex court citing infringement of constitutional rights to a fair trial. However the Constitutional Court ruled the matter should proceed to trial. The ConCourt upheld a decision by Harare magistrate Lazini Ncube barring Nyagura to approach the apex court. The judges said if Nyagura felt the ruling was wrong, he should have filed an appeal to redress the decision.
In dismissing, Nyagura’s application Chief Justice Luke Malaba ruled the applicant had invoked a wrong remedy to challenge the decision by a magistrates’ court at the apex court. Nyagura is accused of illegally awarding former First Lady Grace Mugabe a PhD.
