The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mr Jeff Radebe will officially open the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court as part of the Departmental efforts to bring justice services closer to communities.
The court, which caters for communities around Alberton, Thokoza, Palm Ridge, Katlehong and others, will render vast services which amongst others include maintenance, domestic violence, Equality Court and Children’s Court. This court is the first one in the country which has been constructed to accommodate the High Court seat in a previously underserviced area.
The Minister will be accompanied by the newly appointed Judge President of the South Gauteng High Court, Judge Dunston Mlambo, the Minister of Public Works Mr Thulas Nxesi and MEC of Community Safety Gauteng Ms Faith Mazibuko. The opening will be followed by the engagement program with members of the community on justice related services.
