GOVERNMENT has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging High Court’s judgment nullifying the extension of former Chief Justice Luke Malaba’s tenure.
The appeal follows a High Court ruling that reversed a decision by President Emmerson Mnangagwa extending Malaba’s term beyond his retirement age.
Malaba’s tenure in the top judiciary office could not go beyond 70 years of age, which he recently turned as stated in the country’s Constitution, which was amended recently.
“The appellant hereby appeals against the whole judgment of the High Court of Zimbabwe sitting at Harare handed down by (Happias) Zhou J, (Helena) Charewa J, and (Edith) Mushore J in case number HC2166/2 on 16 May 2021,” reads part of the legal document.
