on Friday issued a directive that all Johannesburg high court hearings will be held virtually for the foreseeable future because of load-shedding and the failure of the relevant government departments to mitigate its effect on the court.
“Regrettably it has become necessary to issue new directives concerning the holding of physical and video-link hearings,” he said in a directive to all judges and officials in the division, bar associations and the office of the state attorney. “This arrangement shall continue until the OCJ and the department of public works can provide appropriate back-up facilities to cater for load-shedding. No indication can be given of when that might eventuate, if at all,” he said.
A member of the legal profession remarked that it was obvious on Thursday that load-shedding was interfering with transcription services duringt to halt steps by former president Jacob Zuma to haul him before court in a private prosecution.
