Masvingo-David Jani Masomere who rose to prominence following Zanu PF star rallies in 2023 where he was the master of ceremonies has been taken to court for absconding lessons in preference of politics.
Masomere is a teacher at one of the biggest schools in Masvingo Province, Ndarama High.
Masomere aka DJ weSADC will appear at the High Court in Masvingo on January 22, 2026 under case No HCMSC401/25 after the matter was reported by prominent opposition figure, Harare ward 6 Councillor Denfrod Ngadziore and the Public Service Commission.
“Take notice that the above Application for Substituted Service R19 will be heard and determined physically by the High Court of Zimbabwe at Masvingo before Honorable Mr Justice Dude-Banda J on Thursday, the 22nd day of January 2026 at 09.00 or so soon thereafter as counsel may be heard,” reads part of the papers submitted by Shava Law Chambers representing Ngadziore.
Ngadziore is demanding for immediate cessation of conduct by Masomere of furthering the interests of Zanu PF at the expense of his job.
“You are a civil servant in that you are employed by the government of Zimbabwe as a teacher at Ndarama High School in Masvingo. Our client takes great exception to that fact that, notwithstanding your civil servant status, you are a permanent feature at the ruling party, Zanu PF’s functions where you serve as a Master of Ceremony while acting in a partisan manner and furthering the interests of Zanu-PF by inter alia chanting Zanu –PF slogans.
“We write to advise that your conduct constitutes a breach of section 200 (3) (b) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe which explicitly prohibits members of the civil service from furthering the interests of any political party or cause. By publicly campaigning for Zanu-PF and canvassing votes for it, you further its interests at the expense of his (Ngadziore) political party, the Citizens Coalition for Change. We further advise that the constitutional prohibition of the furthering of the interests of a political party by civil servants are employed and deployed by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to help with the running of the election.
“We have been instructed to demand, as we hereby do, that you forthwith cease, that is to say, upon sight of this letter to engage in conduct that furthers the interests of Zanu –PF,” reads the application in possession of The Midweek Watch.
Tatenda Nyoka is representing DJ Masomere.
