The Minister has also commended the initiative undertaken by officials of the Molopo district of the North West, who organised Saturday courts which started to operate from 7 May 2011. In the short period since then, 29 out of 32 matters have been disposed of. This team has now set itself the goal of disposing of 50 matters a month from June 2011. I congratulate the team in the North West and intend encouraging such initiatives throughout all provinces to ensure that case backlogs are significantly reduced. Measures are also being undertaken as part of the criminal justice system to improve the courts' productivity. In particular the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security, JCPS, committees established in provinces, in which heads of court participate, have become effective where they discuss the manner and ways in which effective case flow management processes may be implemented in order to empower judicial officers to take charge of their courts.
