# Behind the Courthouse Doors: Real Stories of Justice and Struggle

Ever wondered what really happens inside a courthouse? This raw, unfiltered episode takes you beyond the TV drama into the authentic world of South Africa's justice system. Through candid interviews with everyday people waiting their turn before the law, we uncover the complex human stories behind criminal charges - from drug possession to house breaking. These aren't just cases; they're lives in the balance, families torn apart, and personal struggles laid bare for judgment.

Each interview reveals the messy reality of justice - a brother trying to help his drug-addicted sibling despite repeated arrests, a woman charged with breaking into what was once her own home to retrieve her belongings.
