South Africa's Traditional Courts: Blending Old Ways with Modern Rights
01:48|South Africas Department of Justice is establishing traditional courts, where hereditary rulers will handle community disputes in rural areas. The Traditional Courts Act, signed in 2023, aims to honor customary law, boost traditional courts, and make justice more accessible. Provincial registrars, with at least a high school certificate or law degree, will oversee proceedings, which are recorded and can be appealed. The courts will address issues like theft, minor assaults, and verbal insults, and provide advice on customs like marriages, child custody, and inheritance. The rules promote fairness by requiring gender balance and addressing discrimination. Public comments on draft regulations are open until mid-February. Checkout Solipillow.com
