Chief Justice Luke Malaba on Wednesday encouraged the judicial officers to embrace technological advancements.
Malaba said individuals lacking basic computer skills have no place in Zimbabwe’s judiciary at a time when the world is evolving technologically.
This urgent call for proficiency arose during the ongoing public interviews conducted by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) for candidates vying for the post of Labour Court judges.
The JSC has implemented the internet-based Integrated Electronic Case Management System (IECMS), designed to streamline the digital management of court cases.
To effectively utilise this system, users must possess devices such as laptops, computers, tablets, and smartphones, along with reliable internet access.
They must also complete a registration process and receive adequate training on the IECMS platform.
Malaba’s scrutiny fell on local lawyer Joseph Masango, who was applying for the Labour Court judge position.
