Mnangagwa To Commission New Chinhoyi Court Building

President Emmerson Mnangagwa was on Friday expected to commission the Judicial Services Commission’s (JSC) Chinhoyi courts, JSC Secretary Walter Chikwana confirmed.

The Court is the country’s second-largest after Harare Magistrates Court and houses the High Court and Master of High Court, among other services. Said Chikwana:

The President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, His Excellency, Cde ED Mnangagwa will officially open the new Chinhoyi Courts on 3 September 2021 (today).

JSC’s senior regional magistrate, northern division, Tranos Utahwashe recently said the tamper-proof system which is a web-based case management system will automate and integrate all the courts in the country.

Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Mashonaland West Mary Mliswa-Chikoka said the new building showed that President Mnangagwa was committed to promoting devolution adding that it will improve case handling from within the province.

A Chinese firm, Hao Long Construction, has met the completion deadline despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying lockdowns which delayed progress.
