CHIVHU district development coordinator (DDC) Michael Mariga yesterday stripped two MDC Alliance councillors of their posts and barred them from attending council meetings after they defied orders to resign from the civil service following their victory in the 2018 harmonised elections. BY MIRIAM MANGWAYA Edwin Maseva (ward 11) and Emmanuel Punungwe (ward 10), who are both primary school teachers, were stripped of their titles just before the beginning of the Chikomba Rural District full council meeting. Addressing other councillors during the meeting, Mariga said Maseva and Punungwe had failed to comply with a directive from the Public Service Commission (PSC), which ordered them to resign from the civil service 30 days following 2018 their electoral victory or stop serving as councillors. According to a letter dated April 15, 2020, written by the PSC secretary Jonathan Wutawunashe, which Mariga read out to councillors, civil servants serving as councillors would be violating the Constitution and the Public Service Regulations Statutory Instrument 1 of 2000 as stated in Circular 10 of November 2018. “Given the fact that it is a misconduct to engage in any other employment or service for remuneration without the written consent of the commission, it is advisable that you act immediately to correct the situation,” the letter read. “For avoidance of doubt, the commission hereby directs that as a civil servant, you should cease to serve as a councillor with immediate effect. Failure to comply with this directive will result in disciplinary action taken against you.” Maseva said Mariga had misdirected himself by relying on an old prohibition order which had been overtaken by events. “We are still in talks with the PSC on this issue and we have also engaged lawyers. As it is right now, the DDC’s dismissal is null,” Maseva said. Punungwe described the decision by PSC to dismiss them from council as part of political persecution of opposition officials. “This is a selective application of the law aimed at pushing certain agendas. I wonder why PSC decided to fire us from council instead of the civil service,” he said. Following the PSC directive, three Zanu PF councillors in Buhera Rural District Council who were also teachers, resigned recently from the civil service to continue serving in council.

SUSPENDED High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere yesterday challenged a decision of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to ask President Emmerson Mnangagwa to establish a tribunal to investigate her for misconduct — and then suddenly withdrew the urgent High Court chamber application. Justice Ndewere is accused by the JSC of wrongly quashing a prison sentence imposed on a thief and also taking too long to deliver judgments, but she accuses Chief Justice Luke Malaba of pursuing a personal vendetta after she ignored an illegal order by him to rule in a certain way in a bail application. The embattled judge filed her urgent chamber application at the High Court yesterday morning, and within hours, she had withdrawn it. “The applicant, hereby, files a notice of withdrawal of the urge chamber application and tenders costs,” her notice of withdrawal read. Justice Ndewere had cited Mnangagwa, Justice Malaba, Judge President George Chiweshe, the JSC and Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi as respondents in her urgent chamber application. The judge said the Judicial Service (Code of Ethics) Regulations 2012 mandated the complainants to set up a disciplinary committee to deal with the issues raised, which she said were not so serious to warrant the establishment of a tribunal by the President. “It is unclear to me why the second respondent (Justice Malaba) is working with a common purpose to have me brought before a tribunal when they have clearly failed to comply with the Constitution and the code,” the judge protested. “I am also concerned that I am being unfairly treated by CJ Malaba and the JSC. In my view, the second respondent is victimising me for refusing to follow his unlawful instruction which he issued in August 2019 in connection with a bail matter I handled that month. This is why even before I had explained in June this year, CJ Malaba told Judge President Chiweshe to tell me that he wanted to take me to the tribunal.” She is accused of quashing a prison sentence imposed on 21-year-old Kenneth Majecha and substituting it with an order for the trial magistrate to consider community service. In coming up with the decision, Justice Ndewere said she considered that the convict was a youthful offender and had no previous convictions, but the JSC says Majecha had been convicted thrice before, and details of those cases were in the court record. The review, according to the JSC, was assigned to her in May but she did not deliver judgment until October, when Majecha had already left prison after serving his sentence. The JSC argues that Justice Ndewere showed a lack of application to her work and her performance “has failed to meet the expected standard of a judge”. The JSC says she was warned to improve her performance over delayed judgments in 2017, and got a second warning on February 6, 2019, after failing to perform any work since January 14, 2019. Justice Ndewere had 12 reserved judgments as at June 30, 2019. The 12 cases had gone for more than two years without determination, the JSC charges. “Failure to deliver a

By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer Among transgender-rights activists, there's a powerful mix of hope and fear heading toward the Nov. 3 election. They're yearning for President Donald Trump's defeat but dreading the possibility that his administration might win four more years and continue targeting them with hostile policies. 'The stakes are extremely high,' said Shannon Minter, a transgender attorney with the National Center for Lesbian Rights. 'It seems clear that President Trump intends to use the full power of the presidency and the executive branch to inflict maximum damage on the transgender community.'
