On the Daily Discourse, we've been examining why some court cases take years—sometimes decades—to reach finality. Earlier this week, we unpacked a land expropriation dispute in Tshwane that dragged on for 19 years.Yesterday, we heard how overcrowded court rolls have led to mandatory mediation in many Gauteng cases. Now, attention is turning to another factor slowing down justice: so-called "Stalingrad tactics" — legal manoeuvres designed to delay proceedings. The issue was recently thrust into the spotlight when Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga and Gauteng Deputy Judge President Roland Sutherland discussed how these tactics have increasingly frustrated and undermined South Africa's court processes.
