r574m budget shortfall hits court technology affecting records

SAs justice system is facing growing scrutiny after the office of the chief justice OCJ confirmed a R57.4m budget shortfall affecting court recording technology, ICT systems and court operations.

This has raised concerns about delayed justice, missing records and collapsing cases.

The issue emerged in a parliamentary question posed by Mzwanele Manyi of the MK Party to the minister of justice and constitutional development, Mmamoloko Kubayi.
