Justice Luke Malaba

The man who destroyed Zimbabwe’s economy, Chief Justice Luke Malaba, has begun complaining about the presence of money changers who are struggling to survive in the second capital city, Bulawayo.

Malaba is remembered for his infamous 24th August 2018 ConCourt verdict, a defective judgement from a case in which he refused to hear evidence showing how fraudulent the 2018 elections were. Malaba passed the verdict at a time when it was very clear with even ZBC TV evidence showing that there was massive vote rigging as the military was used to alter the 2018 election results. 

The finance ministry announced during the Motlanthe commission that the economy lost over USD16 billion in business value due to the military operation in which over 6 people were shot dead and many others injured using live ammunition in the capital city on 1 August 2018. 

The economy has not recovered ever since that day and the decline has caused thousands of Citizens to swarm the streets vending in order to survive.

In the latest development, the same man who is responsible for all this, Malaba has called upon responsible authorities in Bulawayo to deal with illegal money changers operating in areas around Tredgold Building that houses several courts.

Bulawayo’s Tredgold Magistrate court is undergoing renovations and this has seen the revamping of the building which houses several courts to meet world-class standards.
However, a disturbing sight of illegal money changers conducting their business almost at the doorstep of the building has not gone down well with Chief Justice Luke Malaba, who toured Bulawayo courts this Friday in the company of Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Ziyambi Ziyambi and the Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, July Moyo.

“To some extent, l don’t know how much this has been done, they can never be a marriage between illegality and justice,” said the Chief Justice.

“They can never be a marriage between illegality and justice, so the activities of an illegal nature must never be part and parcel of justice system externally and internally. So we hope that in the surroundings of this building that are not wholesome must be stopped.
“I don’t think we should have a compromise in that issue. I find it difficult in that you can have people allowing illegal changes of money outside this building sometimes inside them and seen as no problem at all. It should never be.”

Tredgold Building houses Bulawayo Magistrate courts and other government departments. -state media /additional reporting.
