Jane Mlambo| Chief Justice Luke Malaba has issued a strong warning against Machete thugs who of late have struck a chord of terror in the country.

Malaba issued the warning during his speech to mark the official opening of the 2020 legal year in Harare this morning.

He also expressed concern over poor salaries being given to Judges mainly as a result of hyperinflation and called for more funding to the Judiciary Services Commission in order to improve service.

Malaba also implored the National Prosecuting Authority to be diligent in its work and guard against bringing before the courts weak cases which end up frustrating the course of justice.
