The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has commended legal practitioners in the Western Cape for providing legal advice to more than 400 people free-of-charge.

Legal assistance was given to poor communities over a two-day period last week.

This formed part of the Department’s Access to Justice Week.

Meanwhile, Judge Mogoeng Mogoeng’s nomination for the position of Chief Justice is being handled in the proper way.

This is according to North West University law expert Lourens du Plessis.

He maintains that it is a good thing that the nomination is being discussed at all levels, regardless of the fact that the Cape Bar Council and the Johannesburg Bar Council have rejected it.
