Malawi court judges win global prize

The London-based think tank said on Tuesday that the constitutional court judges have won the 2020 Chatham House Prize in recognition of the “courage and independence in the defence of democracy” demonstrated in their historic February 2020 ruling that annulled the May 2019 poll.

“At a time when standards of democratic governance are under threat not only in Africa, but in many democracies, Malawi’s constitutional court judges set an example for their peers across the world by upholding the centrality of the rule of law and separation of powers,” Chatham House said. The initial re-election of Mutharika had triggered widespread street protests. Yet the country’s democratic safeguards stood firm. Apart from the judiciary, the country’s military and civil society have been praised for safeguarding the country’s democracy.

One and only judge who understands why he went to school and have that law degree we only need 5 people like him to change the world well done sir for understanding your role as a judge. I challenge judges in Zimbabwe to follow to do the right thing for the people of Zimbabwe.

This is what the best of the rest in Zimbabwe delivers for you...
