Chief Luke Malaba HARARE – Chief Justice Luke Malaba, who reaches the judges’ retirement age of 70 this Saturday should not remain in office beyond that day, says a Harare lawyer, Musa Kika, who has since filed an urgent court application seeking an order barring the incumbent from holding the office after May 15. This is, however, contrary to President Emmerson Mnangagwa having signed last week, the Constitutional Amendment (No.2) Bill into law, which provides for the extension of the judges’ term of office from 70 by a further five years. In his 28-page application, Kika who is also the director for Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum, represented by Advocate Thabani Mpofu instructed by Cinginkosi Dube of Scalen and Holderness, said the amendment to the Constitution should not be used to benefit the current sitting judges.
