The Law Society of Zimbabwe has named 31 unregistered lawyers, warning them that they cannot appear in court, prisons and police stations, purporting to be representing clients.
LSZ said in a notice that some of the listed lawyers had their practising certificates withdrawn for various reasons, with two of them Ignatius Murambasvina and James Magodora deregistered, while Muchineripi Nhire and Shepherd Makonyere had their firms placed under curatorship.
The other lawyers who were named are Asausi Bwanya, Benjamin Bangajena, Bertha Zakeyo, Blessing Makaripe, Blessing Mushohwe, Catherine Ndoro, Desire Zengeni, Doreen Vundhla, Farai Misihairambwi, Grace Sithole, Lewis Maunze, Lovemore Manyika, Luckson Masiyiwa, Meo Rubwe and Merekizadeck Masimba.

Those who acquired fake certificates after failing the Bachelor of Procedural Law at the University of Zimbabwe are expected to appear in court this week while one of them appeared on Friday.
The executive secretary of the Council for Legal Education, Huggins Hardwork Duri, who allegedly facilitated the acquisition of the fake certificates, also appeared in court on charges of criminal abuse of office and was granted US$500 bail by Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje.
