Outcry Over The Quality Of New High Court Judges

Outcry Over The Quality Of New High Court Judges

One of the 11 new judges of the High Court and Administrative Court appointed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday is a former magistrate who allegedly took out a bank loan and then refused to pay.

Eighty-two lawyers applied for the vacant positions, and 39 were shortlisted for interviews by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) which then recommended the 11 candidates to the President.

In a notice, Mnangagwa said he had appointed former magistrates Faith Mushure and Ngoni Nduna and lawyers Regis Demure, Philipa Phillips, Gibson Mandaza, Joel Mambara, Naison Chivhayo, Vivian Ndlovu, Sijabuliso Siziba and Mpokiseng Dube as judges of the High Court.

Maxwell Kaitano is now the new Administrative Court Judge.

In interviews with ZimLive, several lawyers expressed concern about the quality of some of the new judges.

Nduna, a former deputy chief magistrate, admitted during the interviews that he had taken a bank loan for his farm but neglected to pay it back. One senior lawyer said:

What will incentivise the brilliant lawyers and advocates to put up their hands when there is a vacancy when the result is that you’re going to lose in the sense that you will not be appointed?

And what’s there to disincentivise the bottom feeders from raising their hands? The purpose of public interviews is to show people that this one is not qualified, he or she’s unworthy and the world will know about them.

Nduna took money from a bank to support his farming and refused to pay it back. They sued him and he started raising technical arguments.

People who are similarly circumstanced will say he went there, he had this baggage and it didn’t count against him. At the end of the day, the courts will be brought into disrepute.

About five to ten years from now, you end up with completely worthless judges in terms of their integrity, and their knowledge of the law.

Another lawyer, who declined to be named for professional reasons, told ZimLive that most of those appointed had failed the public interviews and had been “clearly appointed on other considerations.” Said the lawyer:

A judge must be a gentleman or lady who knows the law. Now it turns out, from these appointments, that if you’re a gentleman or lady and you know the law, you don’t satisfy the conditions to be a judge. You need to be a riffraff and ignorant of the law.

The appointment of these judges, seven or eight of them who failed interviews, is the beginning of our descent into the abyss.

Can you imagine the judiciary we are going to have a few years from now? Serious people should do something about it.

The judges will be sworn in on Monday by Chief Justice Luke Malaba.

It does not make sense that the President (who is head of the Executive arm of government) has input into the selection of members of the Judiciary, an arm of government that is supposed to be independent from the executive! All this then points to a captured judiciary which amounts to the reduction of this country into a dictatorship. I'm not saying we are at that stage yet but we see seem to be putting together all the pieces that lead us there! Cry my Zimbabwe!

If you are promoted when you don't qualify, you will forever be indebted to the one who qualified you.

The appointment was based on your ability to act in such a way that Vene remains in power and will continue to loot the resources of our country. if you have shown that you are not able to keep Vene in power or able to benefit Vene in yr judgements then no job
