The Judicial Service Commission has adopted a five-year strategic plan that seeks to ensure the country's courts deliver world-class justice to all litigants.
Speaking at the swearing-in of Patience Vutuza as a Mutare magistrate last week, chief magistrate Mishrod Guvamombe said the organisation's vision was to ensure that judicial officers were adequately equipped to effectively discharge their duties.
He said the magistrates' courts were the mirror of justice in the country by virtue of the volumes and complexity of cases they handle.
Guvamombe also sounded warning shots against corrupt magistrates saying the JSC would deal ruthlessly with those caught offside.
He said the JSC could not afford to be tainted by unscrupulous magistrates and, as such, ruthless action would be taken against those found wanting.
