Break-in at chief justice’s office ‘an attack on the judiciary’
The DA says it will be submitting parliamentary questions as to why there wasn’t adequate security at the office of the chief justice
The DA says the break-in at the Office of the Chief Justice is an attack on the judiciary and that it will be asking questions in Parliament about the lack of adequate security at the premises. Brazen thieves made off with 15 computers containing confidential information on South Africa’s judges and officials in the robbery. "This is an attack on our judiciary which we must all condemn in the strongest terms‚" said DA spokesperson on justice Adv Glynnis Breytenbach‚ adding that the DA was "shocked and angered" over the incident. "The DA will be submitting parliamentary questions as to why there wasn’t adequate security at the office of the Chief Justice which allowed for the break-in to occur‚" Breytenbach said.
