Zambian Chief Justice, Dr. Mumba Malila, has raised concerns about court officials being targets of witchcraft in various parts of the country.
Reports of court officials being victims of witchcraft have been widespread, with complaints of intimidation and harassment leading to some magistrates and support staff being forced out of their workstations by chiefs and headmen.
Chief Mazimawe of the Ngoni-speaking people acknowledged the issues highlighted by Chief Justice Malila and expressed a commitment to working with the judiciary to address these concerns.
The discussion took place during an interaction event between the judiciary and traditional leaders, emphasizing the need for collaboration and action to ensure the safety and well-being of court officials in Zambia.
