Port Elizabeth - Legal Aid South Africa has called on its clients to stay at home and obey the national lockdown regulations "in the interests of flattening the curve of Covid-19 infections", the organisation said in a statement on Tuesday.
"We are tracking which practitioners are in court, and those who are on the duty roster arrange dates with prosecutors telephonically, and only go to court to deal with bail applications and cases that are said to be urgent and essential. We cannot afford to take any risks,” Bambiso said. Jill Terblanche, a regional court practitioner for Legal Aid SA, takes the necessary precautions before she enters the North End Magistrate's Court.
