The move follows a recommendation submitted by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to the President, acting in terms of Section 187 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.
Attorney-General Mrs Virginia Mabiza confirmed the initiation of the process, indicating that all necessary preliminary procedures have been duly completed in line with the law.
