Thank you very much for the constructive inputs from all the members of the committee. We have listened and heard your views on various issues which I think the norms and standards that the Chief Justice has released with regard to the administrations of your justice system and the various bodies that he has created respond to some of the issues with regard to time of the courts, with regard to the judgements and the various issues. But obviously, we need further engagement to enhance the efficiency of the system.
With regard to the interpreters as mentioned for the deaf people, I think the department will have to look closely at this matter because it's a matter of serious concern which will help us in terms of excess to justice for all South Africans.
The maintenance of our courts is a serious concern that has reverberated on all speeches. I think in the first session, earlier today, I have already said that we have piloted the project with Correctional Services at the Middleburg Magistrate Court and the High Court which we are going to use going forward to help us on our various courts across the country in terms of maintenance and also in terms of refurbishment of some of the old age infrastructure of our justice system.
Lastly, I want to thank the Office of the Secretary General of the Chief Justice for the help on this process up until today and the members of this committee and their constructive input.
I will not be able to go through each and every speech but we will respond to it through action and some of it through words of mouth as we move forward. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
