Tsvangirai’s lawyer Advocate Deepak Mehta today insisted that the court should confirm the withdrawal although the respondents had argued the withdrawal was in violation of the country’s supreme law.

“There are no submissions that I will make beyond the withdrawal. I am here to deal with the issue of the withdrawal,” he said. “My instructions are specific, that is just to deal with the withdrawal.”
