Byo judges hit back at DCJ Malaba

Bulawayo High Court judges have written a letter of complaint to the Judiciary Service Commission (JSC) expressing their displeasure over utterances by Deputy Chief Justice Luke Malaba, who is alleged to have castigated the Bulawayo bench for failing to understand the law.

The followed the publication of an article in a local newspaper in which the Deputy Chief Justice allegedly castigated the judges in an open court while chairing proceedings in an appeal matter involving the AFM Church ownership wrangle.

The judges said although Justice Malaba had openly attacked them in public, he had forgotten that he, at one point, also made the same error, but was never publicly censured.
