Former minister Saviour Kasukuwere who is holed up in South
Africa has failed to halt the auctioning of his mansion in Nyanga.
Kasukuwere had filed an urgent chamber application seeking
to bar the State from placing his property under the hammer.
High Court Judge, Justice Edith Mushore dismissed the application
saying Kasukuwere was fullyaware of the consequences of defaulting.
"Applicant must be disabused from the notion that he
is exempted from the consequences of his nonattendance at a court appointed the
date and time. His expectation to be given special treatment was entirely
presumptuous.," Justice Mushore adding that Kasukuwere deliberately chose
not to attend court.
"It cannot be put any other way. Further there is
cause to view his as being a fugitive from justice because of the warrant for
his arrest still being existent. Applicant has thus failed to honour his
commitment to the conditions for his liberty.
"The applicant is dictating his own terms as to when
he feels he is likely to return to Zimbabwe to present himself to the court. He
is doing that to his peril.”
