Most online services, the payment of child maintenance money to beneficiaries and the electronic recording of court proceedings is virtually back to normal after last month’s ransomware attack on the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.

10 October 2021 - 10:34

The September attack led to a massive crisis, causing major disruptions to all divisions — including the web portal used by transcribers to download court recordings for transcription purposes, and which has been successfully restored. Referring to the challenges experienced by court transcribers, spokesperson Steve Mahlangu said: “Most of the recordings are intact, and able to sync back to the central repository. Where courts are still experiencing challenges, a special capacity has been deployed to attend to queries on a case-by-case basis.”

“Parts of the system are already accessible, such as curatorship, and the online portals used for historic searches. More work will be done in the next few days to complete the process of bringing back online functionality in respect of trusts, deceased estates and Insolvencies,” said Mahlangu.

UIF urges declined R350 grant applicants to appeal decision with SassaThe UIF says R350 grant applicants who have been declined due to UIF registration should appeal the decision on the SRD website instead of visiting the department of labour.

Instead of labour and sassa sorting out this nonsense between them they shift the blame to the applicant but they find a way to pay people who are employed somehow Not everyone had access to internet. They are lying half of the people applyed were declined..I am talking about millions of people but nobody talks about it 😔 even media companies nobody cares about the poor! CyrilRamaphosa The_DSD
