Zondo remarks raise serious concerns about Office of State Attorney
28 September 2023
The DA has taken note of Chief Justice Raymond Zondo's recent remarks during his closing address at the Aspirant Women Judges program. Chief Justice Zondo's experiences with the State Attorney's office and the challenges he faced in defending his work are deeply concerning. It underscores the importance of a robust and independent legal system that is capable of upholding justice and the rule of law.
The Chief Justice's call for self-reliance in pursuing justice is a valuable reminder that we should not solely depend on government institutions to ensure accountability and transparency. It is imperative that individuals and organisations take proactive steps to protect the integrity of our legal system.
The reported difficulties faced by Chief Justice Zondo in obtaining assistance from the State Attorney's office raise important questions about its effectiveness and resource allocation. This, in turn, raises concerns about the possibility of capture or corruption within certain government institutions, including the Office of the State Attorney.
It is essential for us as a society to investigate and address any signs of corruption or capture within our institutions to uphold the principles of democracy and justice. The impartiality and integrity of our legal system must be preserved at all costs.
