Attorney-General of Zimbabwe

The Office of the Attorney-General of Zimbabwe (AG) falls under the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs of Zimbabwe. In November 2013, the prosecuting and government advisory roles of the Attorney-General were split under the new Constitution. The Attorney-General at that time, Johannes Tomana, became Prosecutor-General. The Attorney-General is the chief legal advisor of the government of Zimbabwe and also sits as a member of the Senate. The current Attorney-General since 2023 is Virginia Mabiza, the first woman to hold the position.
