10(i) Harmonised Processes: There is need for a harmonized process between the statutory courts and traditional justice processes in Zimbabwe. For example, traditional justice cases that violate rights enshrined in formal law should immediately be removed to a constitutional or statutory court. The constitutional court will then rule on the constitutional issue alone and remand the case back to the customary court with guidance on how the judgment needs to change to comply with constitutional provisions. 10(ii) Alternative Remedies: In instances where traditional justice systems are not in a position to provide remedy and reparation, the government in consultation with communities and civil society groups such as ZIMCET and Heal Zimbabwe should come up with alternative systems to enable victims of serious crimes to realize their rights to redress under Zimbabwean law. 10(iii) Gender Sensitivity and Mainstreaming: Traditional justice systems and processes are often male-dominated and a hostile location for women participants - potentially discouraging women from bringing cases and/or affecting the impartiality of proceedings. While courts are more accessible and the judgment of traditional authorities generally respected, traditional norms often violate women’s substantive and procedural rights, in some cases to grossly inhumane proportions. There is therefore need to mainstream and ensure gender mainstreaming is made a key component of the traditional justice system. 10(iv) Holding State Actors Accountable: Traditional justice systems must not be used to try cases of state officials or those who served as government officials. This should be handled by national court processes to ensure that punishments such as lustration and being relieved of public duties are well executed. 20
