Officially opening the new courtrooms in Bulawayo last week, Chief Justice Malaba said Bulawayo High Court requires two more judges to function efficiently.
The two vacancies were occasioned by the resignation of Justice Lawrence Kamocha at the end of last year and the recent elevation of Justice Francis Bere to the Supreme Court. The court station is being run by four judges despite having an official establishment of six judges. Said Malaba:
It is our desire to have the two vacancies filled as soon as is practicable, to enable the station to operate at optimum capacity. Bulawayo is earmarked to be an industrial hub of the nation. The expansion of the courthouse will ensure that disputes arising from the anticipated upsurge in commercial activity are speedily resolved.
