“So what possible reasons would any principled person be so weakened by a desire for more to the point of compromising the principles that are so fundamental to the sustenance of SA as a constitutional democracy? So there’s a very, very slim possibility of that happening.“The judiciary as a collective has not been captured but I cannot vouch for every individual. But I can confidently say the overwhelming majority of the judges are incapable of being captured,” he said.
“Most South Africans are unemployed or have limited resources and cannot afford to litigate. If litigation is inaccessible even to those who are employed, then we have an access-to-justice challenge because you cannot effectively prosecute your case without an intervention of a legal representative.”
“There is an inexplicable stiff resistance to restructure the traditional court system that would cause them to be consistent with the constitution in their operations.
There were few community justice centres that have been established in the country which are staffed by highly trained individuals to make access to justice for communities, he said.
Came very close with Jiba & Mrewe
Beg to differ. The push against 'white male' law firms, judges, is nothing but capture. With Dali Mpofu & the likes on the panels?
Famest last words.
I agree he will never be captured he only take the trust that is why some people don’t like him✊️
I think Raymond Zondo Zone is already captured sir.
mafiwa2 Raymond Zondo is already captured.
You guys are lucky I wish would say same
Derek_Hanekom Keep protecting the motherland CHIEF? You are our last hope of decency.

SeritiWhitewash
I doubt.
Rule 1 never say never!
MbawoLive Mogoeng Mogoeng is a God fearing man
The last standing arm of government respecting and uphoding the constitution...
No need to. As police and prosecution services were/are captured cases never end up in courts and the masterminds behind corruption and state capture not only remain free but also in top leaderhsip positions in the ANC.
Just give it time and then it will happen again. The anc is fundamentally corrupt...so we shan't be surprised when it does happen again...
Well now that is a joke, right?
Thats why they accept bribes in court now a days hey
Well we shall see about that Ramaphosa,Pravin Gordhan,Trevor Manuel are hard at work in trying to capture the judiciary with their masters right wing neo liberal friends.
It has been Captured in Mpumalanga by the DP of the Country DD Mabuza, after the whole Drama of the ANC Disgruntled Members genuine Facts bt the Application was Granted.
I’m eager to see how Mogoeng decisions will be against Zuma when his cases heats up...
What happened with bosasa guy Desmond Nair Pta magistrate
It is already captured.
If state capture means capturing all organs of the state, and the judicial can never be captured as Judge has alluded, it means out state was never captured.
Desmond Nair?
A luta leader CJ✊🏿
