‘Even the highest office is held to account’ – Zimbabweans on ConCourt ruling

That was a reference to the perceived wealth of Zimbabwean Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku. Critics suggest he was elevated to his position in 2001 on the basis of his support for Mugabe’s controversial land reform programme.

The chief justice and several other Zimbabwean court judges were reportedly given formerly white-owned farms. Chidyausiku is due to step down in 2017.

Publisher Trevor Ncube, of the Mail and Guardian and Zimbabwe’s Alpha Media Holdings (AMH), quipped: “Zanu-PF would have given [Mogoeng] a farm/s and flat screen TV to shut him up.”

But others saw the South African court process as something that should give Zimbabweans hope

@AlbertGumbo tweeted: “Zimbabwe, full blown democracy is possible. We, too, can have it.”

“On the bright side at least our Diaspora hopes live another day,” tweeted @CamillaSibanda.
