A Look Into The Background Of Judges Who Effected Malaba's Ouster

This article looks into the background of three High Court Judges, justices Happias Zhou, Jester Helena Charewa, and Edith Kuda Mushore who ruled in favour of Chief Justice Luke Malaba’s ouster.

Their background could be one of the reasons why President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his allies were uncomfortable with the bench.

The panel ruled that Malaba’s tenure as Chief Justice ended when he turned 70 on 15 May and the judgment was a direct jab at President Mnangagwa’s bid to extend Malaba’s tenure.
