Magistrates’ strike continues

The nationwide strike by magistrates enters its third day on Wednesdayy after a joint meeting of the Judiciary Services Commission (JSC), Chief Magistrates’ Office and the Magistrates’ Association of Zimbabwe failed to yield results on Tuesday.

The meeting, which lasted four hours, was held behind closed doors at the Supreme Court where journalists were barred.

A joint statement from the three groups issued after the meeting simply acknowledged there was a deadlock and that negotiations would continue.
