dc.description.abstract | Judge Eberhard Bertelsmann of the North Gauteng High Court delivered the address
published here as he delivered it in Afrikaans in the series of FW de Klerk lectures in
Potchefstroom on 20 February 2012. He dealt with the role of and limitations on the
judiciary to promote social peace in South Africa, pointing out the achievements of
the courts in the establishment of the constitutional dispensation over the past
decades. He however also showed that the courts are over-burdened and that court
administration leaves much to be desired. Litigants and practitioners do not hesitate
to abuse the system and ugly incidents of unethical conduct have marred the
professions. Judges however do not take these trends lying down and measures to
rectify the situation are well underway. Fair, understandable, predictable and speedy
adjudication without fear, favour or prejudice continues to be the contribution of
judges to the protection of the South African democracy. | en_US |
