The hon Minister has developed a momentum in transforming our judiciary and our justice system that not only deserves our support but must also be applauded. The hon Minister has given notice to senior officials in the department of a zero-tolerance approach to qualified reports from the Auditor-General's office.
The portfolio committee will soon be giving serious consideration to two crucial pieces of legislation, that is, the Superior Courts Bill and the Constitution Seventeenth Amendment Bill which, read together, seek to meet the requirements of Chapter 8 of our Constitution.
We recently had the privilege of witnessing the roll-out of the Audio Visual Remand, AVR, system in courts, which seeks to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of case postponements in our criminal justice system.
