Civil rights organisation Action Society has raised concerned about the wave of violence targeting South Africa's justice system. The organisation has condemned the attacks on courts and legal professionals as a direct threat to the rule of law. This month a man awaiting a bail hearing was fatally shot at Athlone Magistrate's Court in a suspected gang-related hit, two others were wounded. Police believe the accused may have been targeted to prevent him from turning state witness. Elvis Presslin spoke to Action Society Spokesperson, Juanita du Preez
