On 24 August 2018, Zimbabwe’s constitutional court handed down its abridged judgment in the electoral challenge case brought by the opposition candidate, Nelson Chamisa, against the ruling ZANU PF’s Emmerson Mnangagwa and 24 others.
In this abridged judgment, the court did not give reasons for a number of its findings, noting that these would be made available in its full judgment. One year on, the world in general, and Zimbabweans in particular, continue to wait for the court to explain its order and findings.
