By A Correspondent-Zanu PF government has pounced on the Judges who ruled against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s reappointment of Chief Justice, Luke Malaba.

The government did this today by filing a notice of appeal against Saturday’s High Court decision to annul the extension of Chief Justice Malaba’s service beyond the age of 70.

The appeal is against the entire judgment by three judges, Justices Happias Zhou, Edith Mushore and Justice Jester Charewa on Saturday blocking the extension by President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Chief Justice Malaba’s service by five years.

The trio ruled that Chief Justice ceased to be the Chief Justice upon reaching 70 years on May 15, 2021, and that the extension of the service does not apply to incumbent judges of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court.
