JSC's Secretary's Parents Succumbs To COVID-19 - Report

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is reportedly acquiring PPE for its workers as they have announced that courts will be fully operational starting Monday 11 May 2020, The Chronicle reports.
This was revealed by the Chief Justice Luke Malaba who said this to the publication:
<blockquote>Following the proclamation on 1 May 2020 by His Excellency, the President that the country is moving into level two lockdown from 4 May 2020, these directions are issued to guide court operations during the level two lockdown period. For the purposes of implementing the measures introduced under level two lockdown, practice direction number 1 of 2020 as amended shall remain effective until the 10th of May 2020.
Accused persons automatically remanded to dates between 4 May 2020 and 8 May 2020 under practice direction 2 of 2020, will be remanded by the courts to dates after 11 May 2020. All courts shall become operational with effect from May 11</blockquote>

Courts To Resume Operations With Effect From 11 May 2020

The opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa has accused the Zimbabwe Republic Police of being double-faced after they allegedly blocked MDC demonstrations at the same time assisting the ruling ZANU PF in organising its events.
The accusations were made by MDC youths who yesterday stormed into the Harare Magistrates Court with tape covering their mouths to show dissent to “State-assisted closure of democratic space”.
Gift Ostallos Siziba, the MDC Youth Assembly Spokesperson, who was leading about twenty youths spoke to News Day and said that the party was not happy with the bans on its demonstrations. He also expressed displeasure in the judiciary system which he accused of taking forever to deliver justice. Siziba said:
<blockquote>They staged their anti-sanctions demonstration (on October 25) without even as much notifying the police. They are doing these demonstrations countrywide, including rallies, and in most cases, you actually see police organising these events on behalf of the (Zanu PF) party. We are arrested, beaten and jailed. This is unconstitutional and unacceptable.</blockquote>
His remarks come after the police have blocked over thirteen MDC demonstrations in August and September alone and have also violently dispersed MDC supporters in the event that they would have managed to gather.

MDC Accuses Police Of "Personally Organising ZANU PF Rallies Whilst Blocking MDC Demos"

Magistrate Tawanda Muchemwa who was dismissed by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has approached the Labour Court challenging his dismissal.
Muchemwa was dismissed in July for misconduct after he had allegedly failed to respond to his superiors’ correspondence, failed to check registers and record movement. Muchemwa was also accused of absenting himself from duty without official leave, insubordination and failure to comply with the Chief Magistrate’s instructions.
In his notice of appeal at the Bulawayo Labour Court through his lawyer Mr Mclean Mahaso of Tanaka Law Chambers, Muchemwa said that the disciplinary hearing that presided over his matter did not present evidence to substantiate the allegations. He said:
<blockquote>The disciplinary authority grossly misdirected itself by holding that the appellant had failed to obey a lawful instruction from the Chief Magistrate when there was no evidence to sustain and convincingly motivate such a position. The disciplinary authority grossly misdirected itself by holding that the appellant had neglected to carry out his duties when there was no evidence to sustain such a finding.</blockquote>
Muchemwa contends that the ruling failed to meet the justice of the case hence the need to replace it with a written warning.

Fired Magistrate Challenges Dismissal

Judicial Services Commission (JSC) secretary Walter Chikwana told The Sunday Mail that they have started building new courts in Mt Darwin, Lupane and Chinhoyi.
Construction of the new courtrooms is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Said Chikwana:
<blockquote>As the Chief Justice (Luke Malaba) has mentioned before, 233 people were recruited. This number included 60 magistrates; (consequently) the courts that had been closed have been reopened. We have also started building new courts in Mt Darwin, Lupane and Chinhoyi. In Mt Darwin, we have started; in Chinhoyi, we are at roof level and (in) Lupane, we have started the pre-construction preparations</blockquote>

Govt Constructs 3 Courts

Judicial Service Commission (JSC) secretary Mr Walter Chikwana confirmed senior Masvingo magistrate Peter Madhibha’s dismissal for gross incompetence, among other reasons. He had served as magistrate for 17 years.
Masvingo Provincial Magistrate Mr Langton Ndokera said Masvingo now has 18 magistrates following Madhibha’s departure. Chikwana said Madhibha was fired after appearing before a JSC disciplinary committee. Madhibha was found guilty of contravening the Commission’s Regulations of 2015 that demands high levels of competence on the part of court officials. He was served with his letter of dismissal last week. Madhibha was found guilty of passing non-custodial and lenient sentences for some offences that would under normal circumstances warrant stiffer penalties.
Madhibha also failed to satisfactorily respond to queries raised by Masvingo resident High Court Judges, Justices Garainesu Mawadze and Joseph Mafusire during their review of a case he handled. The case involved the State versus Ernest Chifumuro (Case: MSVP 549/18). Madhibha ordered Chifumuro to just pay a fine of $1 000 after convicting him of culpable homicide. Chifumuro was convicted after a bus he was driving caused the death of six people along the Masvingo-Beitbridge highway. Madhibha should have slapped Chifumuro with a custodial sentence considering the circumstances surrounding the fatal crash.
