SA Law Reform Commission, Criminal Procedure Act to be reviewed: Advocate Jacob Skosana, SABC News, 21 February 2025
Deputy Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development, Andries Nel, says the country's criminal justice system, including the Criminal Procedure Act, must be transformed to be more effective, efficient, integrated, victim-centred, and in keeping with the Constitution. He was speaking during a media briefing on the release of four discussion papers by the South African Law Reform Commission on the review of the Criminal Procedure Act in Pretoria. Member of the South African Law Commission, Advocate Jacob Skosana joins us to discuss.

On 10 March 2010, the South African Law Reform Commission hosted a delegation from the Ugandan Human Rights Commission at the Commission’s offices in Pretoria. The delegation comprised of Mr Med SK Kaggwa; Ms Grace Dinah Akello; Ms Marriam Fauzat Wangadya; Dr Katebalirwe Ammoti Wa Irumba; Mr Constantine K Karusoke; Mr Joseph AA Etima; Mr Agaba Maguru; and Ms Roselyn Karugonjo-Segawa. The delegation was on a study visit to South Africa, which was facilitated by the South African Human Rights Commission, to learn about best practices on handling issues relating to “sexual minorities”. The delegation was briefed on the Commission’s investigations on domestic partnerships and the legal consequences of sexual re-alignment and related matters.
