By Anna Chibamu/Leopold Munhende LAWYERS who filed a High Court application leading to the removal of Chief Justice Luke Malaba from office have dismissed government claims they were pursuing a political agenda but instead vowed to sacrifice their lives fighting and defending the country’s Constitution. Prominent human rights lawyers Tendai Biti and Thabani Mpofu were speaking at a press conference Monday while responding to threats issued by Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi following the High Court ruling. The minister said the three judges, Justice Happias Zhou, Justice Jester Charewa, and Justice Edith Mushore, were judiciary officers “captured” by unnamed foreign powers and the government would not accept that.
