Chief Justice Luke Malaba has said that magistrates should be given laptops and wifi access to ensure that they can access legal information quickly. Malaba said this when he was touring the Bulawayo courts. Said Malaba,
Laptops are a modern necessity for everyone in any job. It will make perfect sense for magistrates to be given laptops so they are better equipped to read and research on their cases. We do not want a situation where lawyers come to court with the latest information around law and our magistrates cannot say no because they are not well read or in touch with technology. With laptops and Wi-Fi, magistrates can access the virtual libraries so they can read and research for knowledge.
