High Court judge, Justice Munamato Mutevedzi has urged all court interpreters to learn street lingo in a bid to accommodate Gen Zs using slang during court proceedings.

The judge said this while delivering his judgment in a case where"jealous" brothers, Eric and Brian Kagoro were accused of killing their father.

"It then occurred to us that the transformation that our indigenous languages are undergoing is unrestrained," he noted."At the rate they are doing it, Shona, Ndebele and other local languages face the risk of extinction."As shown in this trial, the youngsters are non-conformists yet their evidence may be vital for the resolution of cases in court.

Kaphas and Tsungirirai intervened and restrained the accused persons before taking the deceased into his kitchen hut.
