Retired Brigadier General Agrippa Mutambara has claimed that the country’s legal has been captured by Zanu-PF such that decisions judgements are made with respect to politics and not to the law. Mutambara singled out the G40 Faction and First Lady Grace Mugabe as the main architects of the capture of the judiciary. Mutambara also said that justice was not for sale in Zimbabwe due to massive corruption. Speaking at a rally Mutambara said:
Corruption is now like a cancer in the country. Police officers now man our road blocks to solicit for bribes from motorists,
Even the courts are now corrupt; if you want to be discharged by the courts you just pay a bribe to the court officials.
Most court judgments are determined at the State House; most court cases are being tried at Grace Mugabe and Kasukuwere residency.
If you are not linked to top Zanu PF officials you are convicted even if you are innocent. That’s the kind of leadership we have in our country.
