Zimbabwe's push to digitise its courts has reached two more provinces, with the paperless system now operating in the Midlands and Mashonaland West, Herald.co.zw reported on Tuesday, 6 October 2026.
The development marks a further spread of the programme beyond the areas where it was first introduced. According to Herald.co.zw, the two provinces are the latest to adopt the paperless approach to court proceedings.
The report did not specify which courts within the two provinces have made the switch, nor did it give a figure for how many courts or cases are now covered by the system.
The paperless courts initiative is part of a broader move by Zimbabwe's judiciary to replace paper-based records and filings with electronic processes. Herald.co.zw's report frames the Midlands and Mashonaland West rollout as an expansion of that effort, following earlier adoption elsewhere in the country. The summary did not name the provinces or courts that took part in the earlier phase.
Further details on the scope of the rollout, the number of courts involved and how the change affects filings and hearings in the two provinces are expected to emerge as the programme continues. Herald.co.zw is likely to carry updates as more provinces are brought onto the system.
