Chamisa's ConCourt Lawyer, Thabani Mpofu Denies That He Faces De-Registration, Threatens Lawsuit Against Business Times

Advocate Thabani Mpofu, who grabbed national attention when he represented MDC presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa at the Constitutional Court, has denied allegations that he faces de-registration. In a letter addressed to the Business Times, Advocate Mpofu wrote:

By Advocate Thabani Mpofu| Dear All

My attention has been brought to some stories carried in your publications in which you claim that I face de-registration. I wonder why it became important for you to go to “print” before hearing my side of the story.

The correct position is that your story is false, malicious and possibly designed to cause harm. It is so frivolous, it merits no attention. Kindly take it down and retract your nonsense as a matter of urgency.

I have also consulted Advocate Hashiti who has made it clear that he never spoke to anyone about this issue. I know it is not a difficult thing for you to retract the story. For your information, I desire no apology from any of you.

I do not believe I need to open the year by suing people.

Blessed holidays.
