The Nyambirai vs NSSA case gave the Supreme Court the opportunity to set the test to be applied in determining the scope of derogations from fundamental rights that can be considered to be reasonably justifiable in a democratic society.

This case has been referred to beyond the borders of Zimbabwe. InTawanda successfully handled the case of Econet vs the Minister of Telecommunications that resulted in Econet being duly licensed to operate a mobile telecommunications network within, into and from Zimbabwe.

The success in this case changed the telecommunications landscape in the country and put paid to the monopoly of the PTC which, although declared unconstitutional years earlier, remained in existence.

What was particularly impressive about this case were the means of gathering evidence which Tawanda and his team employed, which involved obtaining an Anton Pillar order to search and seize records of deliberations of the Technical Committee, an event which proved decisive in the matter as it unearthed damning evidence of bias and manipulation of the outcome of the tender process that had resulted in the licensing of Telecel.

The importance of the victory in this case is evident in the role that Econet has contributed to the development of the economy of Zimbabwe through employment creation, revenue paid to Government, and the revolution in electronic payment systems through the use of Ecocash.
