Preview
The South African Police Service reported in 2022 that more than 400 000 people
were arrested for violating regulations during the first year of lockdown. While
some received warnings, those who paid an admission of guilt fine have criminal
records that could stand in the way of them getting employment. Amongst these
are people who were trying to make an honest living. As Moeti has reported,
having a criminal record not only creates barriers to movement across borders but
can also restrict access to further education, severely limiting people’s economic
opportunities. In turn this makes it harder for anyone to contribute positively to
society and the economy, and to improve their lives and those of their families. In
August 2023 the Justice and Correctional Services minister submitted the Judicial
Matters Amendment Bill for consideration by Parliament.
