The master's offices of South African high courts has been described as being in a state of dysfunctionality by various lawyers who have dealt with the office, as the legal fraternity decries that the office is causing difficulties for their clients who want to tie up deceased estates, set up and liquidate trusts, and appoint overseers.

SIU Acting Head Leonard Lekgetho reveals major fraud at Home Affairs. Lekgetho says corrupt officials collude with foreign nationals, illegally accessing offices to swap photos and fraudulently use innocent South Africans’ fingerprints. In response, the SIU has proposed systemic recommendations to bolster security. Lekgetho acknowledged that the department is already implementing biometric controls on passport photographs. But has stressed the urgent need to strengthen physical access controls at Home Affairs facilities, ensuring every person entering can be positively identified to prevent internal collusion. The Special Investigating Unit was today briefing the media, providing an update on its ongoing investigation into allegations of serious maladministration within the Home Affairs Department. The investigation focused on document fraud, visa and work-permit manipulation, and facilitation networks enabling unauthorized entry into South Africa.

Suspended South Gauteng Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Andrew Chauke, should not be blamed for making decisions that may have tarnished or compromised the integrity of the National Prosecuting Authority. This is according to former North West Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Advocate Sello Maema. Maema is being cross-examined at the Nkabinde Enquiry in Pretoria. The enquiry is probing Chauke's fitness to hold office. He was accused by former NPA head, Advocate Shamila Batohi, of making wrongful prosecutorial decisions while coordinating a team of prosecutors in the 2012 racketeering case against former KwaZulu-Natal Hawks head, Major General Johan Booysen, and members of the Cato Manor Police Unit. Evidence leader, Advocate David Mtsweni, has suggested that any wrongful prosecutorial decisions carried out by Chauke and his team should instead be attributed to former Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Nomgcobo Jiba.
