Golden Jubilee For Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference for an investigation into their failed marriages. The first improvement to the office, apart from experimenting with turned upside down drawers as typing desk and writing surface, was the intervention of a computer in its early stages. No introduction to the computer was given and exploration of that new gadget started ever since to catch the attention of the secretary. This typewriter was used at the inception of the Marriage Tribunal to capture data and evidence on marriage annulments. 1.1.2. Other Tribunals Then There were two tribunals in Zimbabwe that is Gweru Regional Tribunal, which catered for the dioceses in the Metropolitan of Bulawayo, and Harare Regional Tribunal catered for all the dioceses which were under the Harare Metropolitan. Gweru served as the court of appeal to Harare. With the appointment of the Judicial Vicar, Fr. Bhasera as Bishop of the newly established Diocese of Gokwe, Gweru Regional Marriage Tribunal ceased to be functional and was suppressed in 1991. The Harare Regional Court remained the only Tribunal in the country. Since it was unable to function on its own, and serving three dioceses, the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops' Conference petitioned Rome for expansion. When permission was granted, the Harare Regional Marriage Tribunal was transformed into the National Marriage Tribunal of the ZCBC in 1993 but operating at the Archbishop's House. 1.1.3. From Archbishops' Private quarters to Africa Synod House On the 22 May 1995, the National Marriage Tribunal moved and was accommodated at the Africa Synod House on third floor north wing. Great 58
