High Court judge Chinembiri Bhunu is suing Movement for Democratic Change treasurer Roy Bennett for $1 million for remarks Bennett made about the judge during his terrorism trial, reports said today. Bhunu acquitted Bennett in May after an eight-month trial. Bennett is accused of saying that Bhunu was “totally compromised” as a judge because he had been given a farm seized from a former white farmer as “political patronage.” Bennett is also accused of saying Bhunu was a political appointee who would apply the law “selectively”.
