Chiweshe faces misconduct hearing

Justice George Mutandwa Chiweshe faces a misconduct hearing on September 9, 2026, after Munyaradzi Kereke alleged improper dealings involving money and the judge's two wives. According to iHarare, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) will investigate the claims. Kereke, serving a 10-year sentence, made the explosive allegations from prison, accusing Chiweshe of exploiting his position. The case reignites debates about corruption within Zimbabwe's judiciary, which has faced repeated accusations of political bias. The core vulnerability is the judiciary's damaged credibility, as high-profile misconduct hearings undermine public trust in the rule of law.
