Justice Ndewere approaches Supreme Court

EMBATTLED suspended High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere has appealed to the Supreme Court against a High Court judgment passed last month, which upheld her referral to a tribunal before internal disciplinary procedures were instituted.

Justice Ndewere has appeared before the retired Justice Simbi Mubako-led tribunal appointed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on allegations of gross misconduct in the performance of her duties.

She had approached the court seeking an order declaring her referral to the tribunal without being subjected to internal disciplinary processes unlawful as it was in contravention of Statutory 107 of 2012.
