Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Chairperson Jessie Majome described the nation's justice delivery system as corrupt at a consultative workshop organized by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission on Wednesday. She argued that systemic corruption affects legal practitioners, police, prosecutors, magistrates, and judges throughout criminal and civil proceedings. The commission receives numerous public complaints about administrative justice delays and questionable practices within the sector.

Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission Chairperson Michael Reza emphasized that breaking corruption cycles requires social norm changes and legal reforms. He stated that effective implementation depends on government law enforcement, civil society monitoring, private sector ethics, and citizen refusal to participate in bribery. Reza urged civil society organizations to support national interests rather than damage the country's reputation.

Harare Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Charles Tavengwa praised President Emmerson Mnangagwa for providing resources to anti-corruption institutions. He noted that corruption undermines governance, diverts community development funds, perpetuates inequality, and erodes public trust across government, media, religious, and law enforcement sectors.
