Former University of Zimbabwe SRC president Allan Chipoyi has given the Judicial Service Commission seven days to provide CVs and scoresheets of interviews of the recently-appointed judges who came into office amid complaints that some of them did not pass the interviews, failed to pay debts and had corruption charges hanging over their heads.
About 12 High Court judges were recently sworn-in by Chief Justice Luke Malaba.
The ceremony was held at the Constitutional Court in Harare and included Justice Garainesu Mawadze who is now Deputy Judge President of the High Court, deputising Justice Mary Zimba-Dube.
The 10 new members of the High Court bench are Justice Faith Mushure, Justice Ngoni Nduna, Justice Regis Demure, Justice Phillipa Phillips, Justice Gibson Mandaza, Justice Joel Mambara, Justice Naison Chivayo, Justice Vivian Ndlovu, Justice Sijabuliso Siziba and Justice Mpokiseng Dube.
Justice Maxwell Kaitano was appointed Administrative Court judge.
Currently, the High Court has 68 judges, while the judiciary has more than 80 judges. — NewsHawks
