Small claims court offers immediate remedy

Situated on the premises of the Extension II Magistrates Court, scores of Batswana were found patiently waiting on benches in the court's reception to state their cases this week. The Small Claims Court, otherwise known as 'The People's Court', held its maiden hearing at the beginning of this month and has already registered 581 cases.

People come in large numbers to register their grievances at this court that has taken a considerable weight off other courts that have been inundated with cases.
