PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa Wednesday appointed five new Constitutional Court judges to fill in the vacant posts since May 2020.
The appointed new ConCourt judges are; Paddington Garwe, Rita Makarau, Anne-Marie Gowora, Bharat Patel, and Ben Hlatshwayo and are expected to be sworn in by Acting Chief Justice Elizabeth Gwaunza this Thursday.
Sources at the Judicial Services Commission (JSC), speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the new appointments.
The promoted judges took part in public interviews conducted by the JSC last September.
The new vacancies arose by the expiry of the temporary transitional constitutional provisions under which Supreme Court judges also served as Constitutional Court judges for the first seven years of the court’s existence [Constitution, Sixth Schedule, paragraph 18(2)].
