Conditions at the High Court PTA, the highest Court in the Land, are appalling. Been back 4 times from JHB to apply at counter 25 at Francis Baard Street for Estate Late previous Executorship amendment of a deceased's Will for an additional claim.

This is not a democracy but rather another dictatorship in favor of the countries...
