13.3. The applicant avers that I wore an article of clothing associated with a candidate and used in his campaign and promotional material in breach of the law on the 5th of February 2018, some four months before the sitting of the sitting of the nomination court. 13.4. As at the 5th of February 2018, the scarf referred to by the applicant, which bears the colours of the Zimbabwean flag, had no link, connection or association with any presidential election campaign. It may be useful to narrate the history of the scarf and its rise to prominence to illustrate my point. 13.5. The scarf made its first appearance at the Davos World Economic Forum held from the 23rd to the 26th of January 2018 where the Zimbabwean delegation, led by the President of the Republic, who is also the 1st respondent in this matter, all wore the same scarf. I attach hereto, an article marked Annexure ‘F’ which was written at the time of the Davos Word Economic Forum which highlights that the scarf was not a partisan but a national symbol. 13.6. By the 5th of February 2018, the Davos World Economic Forum had ended only ten days prior. How the scarf is said to have morphed, in that ten-day period, when it was still in the very early stages of its rise to prominence, from a symbol of national pride to a symbol of a presidential election campaign is unexplained by the applicant. 13.7. His averments are thus, once more, bald and unsubstantiated.
