Vice President Kembo Mohadi has approached the courts for condonation of the late filing of heads of argument and upliftment of bar in a prolonged divorce matter with former wife, Senator Tambudzani Mohadi.
Mohadi claimed that he failed to file his heads of argument in time due to an error made when courts mistakenly filed Tambudzani’s heads of arguments of one case into a different case. His application reads in part:
In HC 9929/ 18 Tambudzani filed another application for review by the same magistrate and when she filed her heads of arguments in HC 9929/18 they were mistakenly placed in the file for HC 8991/18.
Heads of argument for HC 9929/18 were filed. However, heads of arguments for HC 8991/ 18 were not filed due to my mistake as I failed to realise in time that these were two different cases in which decisions by the same magistrate were being brought under review.
Meanwhile, Tambudzani was recently jailed after she violated a court order which barred her from Mohadi’s properties.
Tambudzani who is claiming $13 000 per month for maintenance pending finalisation of the divorce has applied for a review of proceedings after he filed for contempt of court.
