Facts of the Case

Background

The Prosecutor General sought to set aside a Supreme Court judgment that had ordered him to issue a nolle prosequi certificate to Telecel Zimbabwe, claiming it interfered with his constitutional independence under section 260. He approached the Constitutional Court directly under sections 167(1) and 176 of the Constitution.
