Speaking at the official opening of the Mutare High Court Acting President, General Constantino Chiwenga said there will be no sacred cows in the fight against corruption. Said Chiwenga,
We must thwart corruption at all costs. The designation of the courts is a step ahead in this fight. I wish to reiterate that there are no sacred cows in this battle.
The courts must protect propriety interests of everyone in Zimbabwe, including juristic persons, with world-class institutions like the new High Court. Zimbabwe has no hesitation in inviting those interested, to invest in the country, it is further proof of the fact that everyone can, in the new Zimbabwe, trust us with their investments. I, therefore, exhort the Honourable Chief Justice (Luke Malaba) to establish with urgency permanent High Court stations in other provincial centres such as Gweru, Lupane and Gwanda.
The administration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been accused of paying lip service to fighting corruption as all high profile individuals who have been arrested for corruption belong to the ousted G40 Faction.
