Beitbridge resident magistrate Takudzwa Gwazemba has ordered an investigation to determine the age of a juvenile who claims that prosecutors exaggerated his age to secure a prison sentence.
According to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200035245/sadc-ignores-moza-civil-unrest">NewsDay</a>, the juvenile was arrested, tried, and convicted alongside 23-year-old Knowledge Mudau for stock theft after they were caught skinning two goats. Said the boy:
<blockquote>
I told them I was 16 and they said they will put my age at 23. I have no money because police took all my money when they arrested me.
</blockquote>
During the proceedings, when asked who had exaggerated his age, the boy responded that the prosecutors had done so during the pre-trial interview.
In response, Gwazemba immediately halted the proceedings and directed the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service officers to carry out a clinical dental examination to accurately determine the boy’s age.
A clinical dental examination is a reliable method for estimating age, as it involves evaluating several key factors related to tooth development.
The sequence and timing of tooth eruption are particularly useful, especially for children and adolescents, as these stages correlate with specific age ranges. Additionally, the development of tooth crowns and roots can provide valuable insights into a person’s age.
As people age, the transparency of their dentin increases, a factor that can be measured to help estimate age. F
Furthermore, the degree of wear on the teeth, known as attrition, can also offer clues about a person’s age, providing a comprehensive approach to determining the boy’s true age.

Magistrate Orders Age Verification For Young Goat Thief Who Claims Prosecutors Exaggerated His Age

Public prosecutors across the country are planning to go on strike starting on 20 April to push their employer, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), to restore their 2018 salaries.
According to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/prosecutors-demand-us900-salary-ahead-of-planned-strike-npa-threatens-dismissal/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, the pay entry level for a junior prosecutor in 2018 was US$899.
Currently, junior prosecutors earn ZW$100 000, which is equivalent to US$100, plus an additional U$200 government allowance.
Prosecutors are accusing the NPA of neglecting the welfare of low-ranking staffers while senior law officers in the grade of chief or provincial public prosecutors have numerous benefits.
Chief or provincial public prosecutors reportedly earn in the range of ZWL$2 million and ZWL$3 million.
They get fuel coupons for their allocated double cab vehicles, Isuzus, Toyota Fortuners, or Ford Everest.
The Prosecutors’ Association of Zimbabwe (PAZ) notified their employer of their intention to strike in a letter dated 5 April 2023.
PAZ demanded that the NPA urgently address concerns or face a nationwide strike starting on 20 April. Wrote PAZ:
<blockquote>
This serves as formal notice to engage in collective job action in terms of section 104 of the Labour Act.
This is also based on a poll that has been endorsed by members who cast votes.
We also take cognisance of the fact that we do not fall under any of the exceptions which ban employees from engaging in collective job action.
We appreciate that the grounds for giving such notice must be matters of a dispute of interest as required by law.
</blockquote>
The issues prosecutors want to be addressed include salary review based on 2018 rates, payment of responsibility and retention allowances for public prosecutors who head stations, and promotions of deserving individuals. Said PAZ:
<blockquote>
Hence our position is that if the above issues are not attended to within 14 days as required by the law, public prosecutors will engage in collective job action on the 20th of April 2023.
</blockquote>
However, NPA Acting Secretary Tafadzwa Mupariwa, representing Acting Prosecutor-General Nelson Mutsonziwa, warned the prosecutors of unspecified action if the strike goes ahead. He said:
<blockquote>
The Authority notes that the notice is fatally defective at law and therefore a nullity. The PAZ has been advised.
In light of the defects in the notice for industrial action, be advised that any industrial action based on that defective notice is unlawful.
</blockquote>
Mupariwa said the NPA was working on improving the conditions of service and the general welfare of staffers. He said:
<blockquote>
These include the provision of station vehicles, whose pilot project has seen the distribution of 19 brand-new Isuzu single-cab vehicles.
The next stage is now the provision of vehicles and conditions of service for prosecutors in charge of stations.
This is a phased approach and we hope to equip all the stations progressively.
</blockquote>
The NPA said engagements with Treasury were ongoing with a view to a 100% salary increment effective 01 April 2023.
It said talks with local councils would see prosecutors allocated housing stands.
Sector-specific allowances were also being tabled for adoption, the NPA said.
In 2022, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/some-prosecutors-losing-their-minds-due-to-drug-abuse/">the NPA said drug and alcohol abuse among public prosecutors was so rampant</a> that some were losing their minds.

Prosecutors Plan Nationwide Strike, Demand US$900 Salary

Drug and alcohol abuse among National Prosecution Authority (NPA) workers is so rampant that some are losing their minds.
This was revealed in the NPA strategic plan review 2022 governance and administration report from January to October prepared by the acting secretary Tafadzwa Mupariwa. He said:
<blockquote>
There is a surge in drug and alcohol abuse in the National Prosecution Authority as some prosecutors and support staff are losing their minds. Some are blaming it on other factors such as evil spirits.
</blockquote>
Mupariwa urged heads of stations and supervisors to report at the earliest possible time any suspected cases of drug and alcohol abuse so that remedial action can be taken. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/npa-frets-over-drug-alcohol-abuse-in-its-ranks/">Chronicle</a>
