The establishment of an Office of the Chief Justice to replace the Minister of Justice and the Department of Justice was imo judicial overreach. The CJ is now embroiled in the administrative politico domain which is unhealthy for the decorum of the CJ and the Superior Courts.

How is it that when the crooks get caught - they simply just retire/resign and nothing happens to them? Surely they can still be arrested and charged for the loss to the state. It's the same when crooks steal copper. Stealing in not a crime under the AN Crooks :(

Since the arrival of this judge things have changed in that office, we all know how he likes money, he wasted R1 billion rands to tell us the police must investigate, nonsensical judge indeed
