Chief Justice bemoans court case backlog

CHIEF Justice Luke Malaba has challenged court officials, including magistrates, to desist from taking long to conclude cases, saying the practice dents the credibility of the country’s justice delivery system.

Malaba said the current situation where there was a huge backlog of unresolved cases, was unsustainable.

“The public is frustrated,” Malaba said during the launch of the Judicial Service Commission’s Fast Track Courts Training Programme held in Harare yesterday.
