Antonia Guvava

Antonia Guvava is a Zimbabwean judge. Quotes As far as the judiciary is concerned we have intelligent women alongside men, hence equal opportunities. So, there is no justification for differentiating in terms of practice in terms of theory. You can imagine you walk into a courtroom and you find a full bench of male judges and you are a woman. I think it is enough to frighten you, but if there are one or two women I think it tones down the atmosphere in the courtroom. It is important because the world is made up of men and women after all. So, why would we want the other gender to have an advantage over the other gender? "Courts must come down hard on rapists because of the high rate of rape of innocent young children and their possible exposure to sexually-transmitted diseases." The Herald / AllAfrica "We are of the firm view that the appeal is devoid of any merit... The decision of the lower court cannot be impugned. The appeal must therefore be dismissed." The Herald "Clearly, the arbitrator acted outside his powers when he purported to set the terms of the collective bargaining agreement between the parties, and the Labour Court erred in law."
