Plans are underway to establish special courts which will deal with corruption to be opened in the first half of 2017.
Officially opening Mvuma Magistrate’s court, acting President Emmerson Mnangwagwa said:
I am reliably informed that the stakeholders in the “Against Corruption Together” campaign have drafted a protocol designed to assist them in structuring mechanisms for the establishment of special courts for the management and trial of corruption-related cases.
