Justice Malaba warned that such actions could erode confidence in the justice system at a time when the country was recovering from a traumatous period. He said this while addressing a recently held joint Judicial-Legal Profession Colloquium organised by the Law Society of Zimbabwe in Victoria Falls. Lawyers, prosecutors, magistrates, judges, police, prison service staff and anti-corruption officials attended the Colloquium.
The Deputy Chief Justice spoke against the background of arrests of several human rights lawyers such as Mordecai Mahlangu, Alec Muchadehama, Rose Hanzi, and Tawanda Zhuwarara for carrying out their professional duties.
