Fear lessl y the tr uth

Good S W E N

Relief for Tzaneen’s severely overcrowded magistrates’ offices is imminent. A spacious double-story government homestead in Pompagalana (photo above) has been converted into court rooms and offices and is

d u e

to be occupied early in 2013. Tzaneen’s chief magistrate, Mr James Norval, confirmed that the building has been allocated to his office. He also confirmed that the

family and civil courts will be accommodated in the new, comprehensively refurbished building. There is more good news, but Norval asked us to wait a while before making further announcements. — Francois Aucamp

Bad NEWS

The renovations of the old magistrates’ offices in Tzaneen’s CBD, next to the Police station, have come to an abrupt halt and the contractor has left the premises. New tenders will now be invited, which might take quite some time.

When the tender for the restoration of this stately heritage building was awarded, experienced people in the building industry warned that only an experienced

contractor would be able to comply with the strict building regulations for heritage buildings. The building will be allocated to the SAPS, once the restoration has been completed. — Francois Aucamp

Telefoon-ellende by die hof ‘n Jaar gelede het die skakelbord by Tzaneen se landdroshofgebou grotendeels die gees gegee — en dit is steeds geesteloos, ‘n jaar later! Inbellers kom deur na die skakelbord, maar oproepe kan nie daarvandaan na die landdroste, aanklaers of klerke deurgeskakel word nie. Prokureurs en die publiek vind dit erg steurend. Die probleem moet deur die Departement van Justisie opgelos word, maar dit gebeur nie. Die probleem bestaan glo ook by verskeie kantore in die land.

Ons wou kommentaar van Justisie kry, maar die departement se streekkantoor in Polokwane het nie ‘n mediawoordvoerder nie. Ons het wel met ‘n mnr Malekwa, die direkteur van hofwerksaamhede in Limpopo, gepraat. Hy het gevra dat ons vir hom die besonderhede op skrif deurgee, waarop hy dan sal reageer. Dit kon egter nie betyds voor ons druktyd geskied nie en ons sal volgende week verder hieroor berig. — Francois Aucamp
