'At a time when our Judiciary is trying to reform itself and show the public that is in touch with time, onlookers enter courtrooms only "to step back to the 17th century", to the colonial era,' it says. Looking at the way the debate has developed in the UK, the paper finds that there is even less argument to support wigs in Zambia. It says: ' For us, this tradition is not only old but a colonial one with no relevance or usefulness.'
