There has been a shake-up within the Judiciary since the new government came into power. It has been the busiest, with the Court of Appeal authority shaken and the change of the Chief Justice. Staff Writer MPHO MOKWAPE narrates the shake-up of the Judiciary and the possibility of a constitutional court.
