The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has begun investigations into Inyathi Senior Magistrate Samukeliswe Gumbo's leaked audio on corruption circulating on social media.
According to JSC spokesperson Daniel Nemukuyu, they have received the alleged audio and investigations are ongoing.
"The audio recording has been brought to the attention of the Judicial Service Commission. Investigations have since commenced against the magistrate in question," Nemukuyu
Gumbo's leaked audio on corruption is circulating on social media.
Allegations are that the magistrate offered passengers a lift and was recorded blasting the country's economy while supporting corruption.
In the audio, Gumbo said that for every successful Zimbabwean to succeed, there should be an element of criminality because the "economy is biting us."
"As a senior magistrate, I have children who should go to school, but I cannot afford to send them to school. Every day I am at court, at the end of the day, I am going to be involved in corruption because I need a decent life," she told her passengers.
She further claimed that people should not judge civil servants who are corrupt because their money is not sufficient.
"If we are realistic US$200 and some bond civil servants are getting, especially teachers, cannot do anything to a normal human being."
