Zim Now Writer

The construction of the Epworth Magistrates’ Court has been completed and the complex awaits to be officially commissioned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa this Friday.

This comes as government has stepped up efforts to construct courts in high density suburbs, where some people have been commuting to courts in the city centre, presenting challenges to them.

The Epworth Magistrates Court complex’s main building consists of two courtrooms, with eight offices and ablution facilities.

The court will be handling criminal cases, holding cells, which match Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services specifications, were also included in the design of the structure, with bars fitted and the necessary sections for men, women and juveniles.
