13.8. While it is true that I tried on a scarf designed by Miss Celia Rukato, a young Zimbabwean designer whose vision is to build national consciousness and that a photograph was taken with my consent to promote the designer it is baseless and malicious to assert that the wearing of the scarf is therefore a sign of bias. I could not have known or anticipated at that date that 1st respondent would go on to make that scarf his trademark. 13.9. This allegation is at one with the misogynistic attacks on my person and professional integrity by the applicant and his supporters. Applicant is a registered legal practitioner and an officer of the court who went on record on numerous public occasions to cast aspersions on the whole judiciary in Zimbabwe and on me in particular. His conduct was unbecoming for an officer of the court. 14. Ad Para 4.5.16 I reiterate the averments I have already made in respect of the provision of the BVR voters’ roll. Further, from the inception of the biometric voter registration exercise in 2017, the Electoral Commission has always been clear that the voting method to used for the 2018 general election would not be biometric. I attach a press statement to that effect hereto marked Annexure ‘G’. 15. Ad Para 4.5.17- 4.5.19 This is denied.
