IBJ is happy to welcome John Tawanda Burumbo and Florence Chatira into its growing team in Zimbabwe. John is a young and dynamic Zimbabwean lawyer who has a sound knowledge of Zimbabwean criminal law, demonstrated legal drafting capability and experience in representing clients. He holds a Bachelor of Law B.Juris and a Bachelor of Laws LLB. from the University of Fort Hare, Republic of South Africa. Under the leadership of IBJ Fellow and Country Manager, Innocent Maja, John will build on his experience in criminal defense to provide effective and timely legal representation to disempowered indigents in vindication of their legal rights.

As the project administrator, Florence will develop efficient working structures to facilitate the coordination of the fellows’ work and provide the on-the-ground administrative support needed.

Welcome to both of them!
