If it had not been that it goes to the very root of the Declaration of Rights contained in Chapter 4 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, in particular the right of every person to choose and be represented by a legal practitioner of their choice before any court of law, tribunal, or forum, it would have been comic indeed.
On 17 July 2015, at about midday, a commuter omnibus was making its way to Guruve along Mvurwi-Kanyemba road after allegedly picking up a passenger at an undesignated zone, when the applicant, a Municipal Police Officer at Mvurwi Town Council, pounced.
He allegedly emerged from the tall grass wielding some spikes which he threw in front of the moving commuter omnibus.
Sensing danger, as the spikes no doubt would have slit his tyres into smithereens, the driver is said to have swerved but lost control of the vehicle which overturned and was extensively damaged.
For his troubles, the Municipal Police Officer was charged with contravening a section of the Road Traffic Act [Chapter 13:11]...,.
