Magistrates Court (Periodical Court) (Ruwangwe) Notice
Ruwangwe is appointed as a place for holding a periodical court in Manicaland Province, bringing magistrates court sittings closer to that community.
The Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs has appointed Ruwangwe as a place for holding a periodical court in Manicaland Province.
A periodical court sits at intervals at a named place instead of requiring everyone to travel to a permanent magistrates court. For people in and around Ruwangwe, that means matters within the court's jurisdiction can be heard locally.
The notice names the place and nothing more. It does not fix how often the court will sit, which magistrate will preside, or when the first sitting takes place.
No commencement date is stated; the notice was gazetted on 24 January 2025.
