Jessie Majome And 10 Others Shortlisted For Prosecutor General Public Interviews

The Judicial Services Commission (JSC) will be holding public interviews to fill the position of Prosecutor General on the 1st of November 2018. 11 candidates have been shortlisted for the position which became vacant after Ray Goba chose to resign than to be investigated by a tribunal to ascertain whether he was still fit to continue as the country’s top prosecutor. Goba was facing allegations of failing to prosecute high profile criminals, putting his office into disrepute by using abusive language and insulting lawyers and sneaking out of the country, without Cabinet’s authority.

Some of the shortlisted candidates include:

• Jessie Majome – Former Harare West Member of Parliament (MDC Alliance)
• Tinomudaishe Chinyoka – One of the members of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s 12-man legal team for the Constitutional Court challenge.
