STATEMENT ON THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE LEGAL YEAR BY THE HONOURABLE MRS JUSTICE MAKARAU AND MR JUSTICE MALABA IN HARARE AND BULAWAYO RESPECTIVELY
The Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) would like to welcome and congratulate the Judge President and the Deputy Chief Justice on the delivery of their speeches and successful official opening of the 2010 Legal year.
The speeches usher a ray of hope for the legal profession and the whole justice delivery system particularly at a time when the relationship amongst stakeholders in the justice delivery system is improving as a result of the first ever joint Colloquium of the bench and the profession.
The country of Zimbabwe has been faced by multiple threats to its well being and that of its people. This has resulted in the collapse of good governance, socio economic and political. To this end the judiciary system continues to degenerate and this has resulted in an unjust and undemocratic society, with a massive human rights violation and decline of the rule of law. Rule of law also known as supremacy of law states that the law is above everyone and such applies to all people equally .The rule of law is a foundation for both liberties and order in the country at any given time.
