71 New Sheriffs Appointed

[LazyLion]

Justice Minister Jeff Radebe has appointed 71 new court sheriffs, the SA Board for Sheriffs (SABFS) said on Friday.

"We fully support and congratulate the minister on taking this giant leap in the transformation of the sheriffs' profession and applaud him on his commitment at addressing the injustices of the past," it said in a statement.

The sheriffs would assume office on October 1. The SABFS said it would ensure the new sheriffs were "adequately trained, both theoretically and practically", before they assumed office.

"Sheriffs have an important role in the justice system as they act as a third party to serve court processes and to execute the warrants and orders of the court," it said.

"On behalf of the chairperson of the SABFS we wish to congratulate the new appointees and wish them our very best for a long and rewarding career."

The Sheriff's Office in Humansdorp really does have a wild west look to it from the outside - all that is missing is a horse standing outside.

Could you please offer an alternative system? Kthxbye.

There are many many better alternatives for judicial enforcement, service and execution agency and the system for sheriffs in SA is a mess. The statement - most corrupt branch of the judicial system is meaningless and inciteful and simply not true. The most corrupt branch in the judicial system are perjuring parties.

Government is aware of alternatives but the transformation of the legal system is a monumental ****up because the ANC has its head up its ass and there is fierce and incoherent lobbying from the BLA which just create a continuous mess.
