Govt strengthening legal framework through amendment bills: Kubayi
Kubayi says the Cabinet has approved the bills, with three now open for public comment
Justice Minister Mamoloko Kubayi announced that the government intends to strengthen South Africa's legal framework through four legislative amendment bills. The proposed changes aim to tackle illicit mining, improve access to the legal profession for the public, tighten oversight of trusts to prevent financial abuse and money laundering, and target conspiracy, instigation, and incitement to commit serious offenses.
The Cabinet has approved the bills, with three of them currently open for public comment. The conspiracy and incitement bill will be tabled in Parliament. Kubayi emphasized during a media briefing in Pretoria that reviewing and changing legislation ensures laws remain fair, useful, and promote equality before the law. He added that updating laws enables governments to address outdated rules, adapt to new technology, and respond to evolving social and political values.
