Insight: Judicial Representation

This provision aims to ensure that Zimbabwe's courts are not dominated by any single demographic group. By requiring judicial appointments to reflect the country's diversity, the constitution seeks to build public trust in the legal system, as citizens are more likely to have confidence in courts that represent various ethnic groups, regions, and genders. This representational requirement helps prevent bias and promotes equal access to justice for all Zimbabweans.
