chief justices office mum as lack of power backup causes court closure

Operations at the Pretoria high court have been temporarily suspended due to a power outage affecting parts of the CBD, and the office of the chief justice OCJ has declined to comment on why no backup power could be used to allow cases on the court roll to proceed.

TimesLIVE spoke to several sources working in the court building who said the generator has not been working for years, and every time there was a power outage, cases could not be heard.

Asked about this, OCJ said no further comment will be given on the issue.
