        ZANU PF has been the ruling party of Zimbabwe since 1980, therefore will never accept any opposition party to rule. There is clearly no rule of law, the courts are all governed by Zanu Pf, the electoral body is run by Zanu Pf. There is no democracy just gerontocracy & zanusation!

        Picture shows Mnangagwa and Judge who delievered judgement. If as BBC you dont have intelligence that Zimbabwe courts are compromised then you misinform the world. Know that you are promoting the same man who committed genocide in 1983. He lost elections and used fake courtpic.twitter.com/5u0VrBbteO

        When @edmnangagwa give orders for Biti to be released what can stop him to influence the decision of the high court. Zimbabwe has been captured by Zanu simple.

        I'm not surprise at the verdict at all. If you pack the courts with your cronies, this verdict is definitely bound to happen.
