High Court judges slam magistrate over Haruzivishe conviction and sentence

Two High Court Judges Justice Benjamin Chikowero and Justice Happias Zhou have slammed Harare Magistrate Judith Taruvinga by describing her conviction & sentence of pro-democracy campaigner Makomborero Haruzivishe as fundamentally misdirected.

The two judges also stated that Taruvinga’s judgment was not thorough.

Magistrate Taruvinga in April 2021 convicted & sentenced Haruzivishe to serve jail time for inciting public violence & resisting a peace officer when he was arrested for allegedly whistling while protesting against conduct of police officers as they arrested people in Harare’s Central Business District.

However, the 2 judges in September quashed Haruzivishe’s conviction & sentence by Magistrate Taruvinga & set it aside.
