Embattled Malaba hit with contempt of court, faces 6 months at Chikurubi Prison
BULAWAYO – Human rights lawyer Musa Kika filed an urgent High Court application on Tuesday seeking the arrest and jailing of Luke Malaba for contempt of court after showing up for work in defiance of a judgment blocking the extension of his tenure as Chief Justice.

Kika wants Malaba locked up at the notorious Chikurubi Maximum Prison for six months if he does not “forthwith and immediately” desist “from exercising the functions of Chief Justice of Zimbabwe either in a judicial or administrative capacity.”
Malaba’s world came crashing down on May 15 following a High Court ruling by Justices Happias Zhou, Edith Mushore, and Helena Charewa, that he had ceased to be a judge as President Emmerson Mnangagwa had violated the constitution by extending his contract by five years past his retirement at 70.
