The judiciary system has for a long time comeunder attack from fierce Government critics who have in the past held the view that it was not independent and influenced by the Executive in the discharge of its duties.

Tsvangirai, who himself said he was surprised by his acquittal, and the MDC had hoped for a conviction to appear as if he was being persecuted and seek sympathy from their Western masters as well as gain political mileage.

Tsvangirai is still facing another charge of treason for allegedly inciting his party supporters to march to State House to overthrow the President during the so-called "Final Push" in June last year.
