DA MP Dianne Kohler-Barnard has warned against labelling the entire judiciary as problematic. She was answering questions from the evidence leader of the Ad Hoc Committee looking into concerns around national security, Advocate Norman Arendse.
Kohler-Barnard, who is a member of Parliament, is testifying before the committee after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi accused her of sharing classified information.
"We all know the wheels of justice grind so incredibly slowly, but finally, people are starting to be held to account. So, I think that's a positive turn. But to label all the entire judiciary system to be a problem is in itself problematic. Pick up the specific issues to deal with them. But to just damn every judge, every magistrate, everybody involved, I think it's excessive," she says.
