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.
