Chief Justice Dr. Mumba Malila has been moved to South Africa for specialised medical treatment following a road traffic accident that occurred last Friday.
According to a statement released by Thabo Kawana, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Media, Dr. Malila suffered a fractured leg as a result of the accident.
The Chief Justice is currently receiving advanced medical care in South Africa, where doctors are closely monitoring his condition.
Despite the injury, Dr. Malila was reported to be in good spirits and had conveyed his gratitude for the prayers and well wishes he had received from the public and colleagues.
The accident involved Dr. Malila’s official vehicle, which was being driven by Newton Njovu.
Fortunately, Njovu was uninjured and was reported to be in good health.
The details surrounding the cause of the accident are still under review, but there are no immediate concerns for Njovu’s wellbeing.
Government officials have assured the public that all necessary measures were being taken to ensure the Chief Justice received the best possible care.
“The government will continue to monitor Dr. Malila’s progress and will provide updates on his condition as necessary,” said Kawana in the statement.
The news of Dr. Malila’s evacuation had prompted an outpouring of support from various sectors, including members of the judiciary, legal practitioners, and the general public, all wishing him a speedy recovery.
Further updates on the Chief Justice’s condition and recovery progress would be communicated by the government as they become available.
