The justice department has been engaging with stakeholders to resolve teething problems

The government was talking to stakeholders in SA’s courts in an effort to sort out “teething challenges” in their functioning, which was adversely affected by the lockdown.

The GCB also raised an issue about inconsistencies in regulations and directives issued respectively by justice minister Ronald Lamola, chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng and the various heads of courts, which led to confusion as there was no uniformity. A letter the GCB wrote in which it raised the profession’s issues elicited an unimpressed response from Mogoeng.

“That you disagree with their approach very strongly gives you no licence to project them and their approach as negatively as you have chosen to do,” Mogoeng wrote.
