Mnangagwa extends judge Katiyo probe period

President Emmerson Mnangagwa extended the tribunal inquiry period investigating High Court judge Justice Never Katiyo over alleged gross misconduct. The extension grants the tribunal more time to review evidence and hear witnesses before submitting its findings. Justice Katiyo faces allegations of leaking a confidential judgment and making improper rulings. The Judicial Service Commission recommended the tribunal in 2025 after receiving multiple complaints. The probe continues.
