President Ramaphosa vs. His Oath of Office

A Tale of Power and Principle: Mutumwa Mawere vs. Ramaphosa and His Oath of Office – in an epic battle for “Battle for Justice” in which President Mnangagwa’s practices, custom, conduct, and abuse of public power through laws that undermine the rule of law are the key problems.

In the quiet corridors of legal maneuvering, a titan has risen to challenge the very foundations of power.

Mutumwa Mawere, a name that echoes through the annals of legal battles, has once again stepped into the fray, this time against none other than the President of South Africa himself.

The stage is set in the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Division, Johannesburg. Case Number: 2023-123899. The combatants? Mutumwa Mawere, a man driven by principles of justice, and the President of South Africa, representing the might of executive power.

At the heart of Mawere’s cause lies a tale of usurpation, a narrative woven with threads of legal intricacies and constitutional principles.

It begins with the shadowy realms of Zimbabwean politics, where laws were bent, and powers were abused.

A law was manufactured by President Mnangagwa to expropriate Mawere’s 26 Zimbabwean companies employing about 20,000 people.

Set out below is the notice that was issued by Mnangagwa’s November 2017, coup that unceremoniously and unconstitutionally removed the late President Mugabe was orchestrated with the knowledge and involvement not only of the army but also of the judiciary of Zimbabwe.

Mawere’s companies, including the embattled SMM Holdings Private Limited, found themselves at the mercy of executive decrees, wielded without the oversight of the judiciary.

The narrative gains momentum as Mawere lays bare the web of unconstitutional actions, invoking sections of the South African Constitution like a war cry.

The rule of law, the supremacy of the constitution, equality, and property rights—all are thrust into the spotlight, casting a harsh glare on the alleged transgressions of those in power.

The urgency of Mawere’s plea is palpable, resonating with the ab initio doctrine—a legal principle that demands scrutiny of actions from their very inception.

If the President’s actions are deemed unlawful from the start, Mawere argues, his participation in the upcoming general elections would be tainted, leaving a stain on the fabric of justice itself.

In this saga, Mawere emerges not just as a petitioner but as a symbol—a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity, a beacon for those who dare to challenge the status quo.

His cause, is the same cause that provoked the Biden Administration to impose the Maginsky anti-correction and the ICJ genocide matter, yet since August 12, 2021, President Ramaphosa has been fixed with the knowledge this grotesque travesty of justice which is described as something perfectly normal by President in the matter under Case Number CCZ 34/21 that was launched by Mr. Tichaona Mupasiri, Director of Public Policy of the JLI-AI-AFRICA Institute, an initiative of a member of Africa Heritage Society (AHS), a not-for-profit organization established in 2003 in terms of the laws of South Africa whose members are concerned that Africa’s future is condemned by the silence of the majority that literacy and active citizenship holds a better promise to shape and build an inclusive Africa founded on constitutional principles and values.

In opposition to this application to impeach him in terms of s. 167(2)(d) as read with s. 167(3) which gives the Zimbabwean Constitutional Court exclusive jurisdiction to determine the constitutional validity and legality of a law, practice, custom, or order that is inconsistent with the constitution of Zimbabwe.

The evidence exposing the Malaba CJ -led apex court openly and overtly using judicial power to protect Mnangagwa’s conduct from being scrutinized by this court with exclusive jurisdiction is galore in this chilling scandal.

The conduct of President Ramaphosa as articulated in this court hearing before Jordaan AJ, on May 8, 2024, is scandalous and inconsistent with his oath yet this judge had no shame of fear to protect Ramaphosa from providing proof that he had valid and lawful authority to substitute him in the prosecution of his opposition to his decision using public power to oppose Mawere’s application without signing any affidavit to bring the court into his confidence as to why on two judicial matters he has chosen to litigate by proxy to avoid the inevitable perjury charges that will flow from the facts and circumstances of his egregious conduct.

Jordaan AJ whose performance in Court on May 8, 2024, requires no interpretation from what was said in the four corners of the Court as set out on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt4Z_xbcn1s.

There is no doubt that in the outcome of this battle lies not just the fate of one man’s businesses but the very soul of a nation’s democratic principles.

This is what President Mnangagwa had to say on December 23, 2021, under oath to the court in support of his opposition to the impeachment application, which in itself exposes President Ramaphosa’s hypocrisy and sincerity in protecting and upholding the constitution of South Africa as the supreme law:
