According Proclamation 4 of 2021, Mnangagwa appointed Retired Judge Justice Raphios Cheda as chairperson of the tribunal with Justice Secretary Virginia Mabhiza being secretary to the tribunal.

Other members of the tribunal are Mr Chaka Mashoko and Mrs Phillipa Magnify Phillips.

Justice Mabhikwa caused a social media storm early this year when one of his lovers leaked his nudes after discovering that he was seeing other women.
