The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) on Saturday (June 10) celebrated 13 years of operating as an independent institution in charge of justice administration affairs.
The celebrations were held across the country under the theme, ‘Enhancing justice delivery through improved overall employee’.
In Masvingo, JSC members and other stakeholder had a march from Mucheke Hall to Masvingo CBD distributing fliers and inviting people to come to either the magistrates’ court or High Court to get more information on how JSC operates.
Masvingo Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Ezra Chadzamira and Assistant Commissioner Florence Marume were among Masvingo’s top leadership who were part of the march.
The JSC became an independent institution in charge of the affairs of the administration of justice on 10 June 2010, through the enactment of the Judicial Service Act [Chapter 7:18].
The functions of the JSC were broadly defined and entrenched by section 190 of the Constitution.
