When Northern Cape attorney Brett Sampson left his Legal Aid SA office at 21 Tom Naude Street, Hartswater in Kimberley, in November last year, little did he know that danger was lurking in the alleys.
He suffered a brain injury that left him with water in the brain . He is still going through speech therapy and has difficulty with all his faculties.Legal Aid SA spokesperson Mfanafuthi Shabangu said: “We can confirm that the employee was attacked by three perpetrators in the ground floor lift lobby which services four floors, three of which are occupied by Legal Aid SA.
Legal Aid SA’s workers, including lawyers and support staff, yesterday demonstrated outside the organisation’s Braamfontein, Johanesburg, offices as part of the build-up to a full-blown strike, with lack of security at work amongst their key grievances.“I understand that Legal Aid [SA] might have represented the perpetrators prior to the incident … I am considering approaching my own attorneys to attend to my queries on my behalf and if necessary to take action,” he said.
I did my articles at legal aid, the workload there is insane. We used to run three to five trials per day hence the quality of the service is extremely poor.
