JOHANNESBURG, March 18 (ANA) – A break-in occurred in the office of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng located in Midrand in Johannesburg in the early hours of Saturday morning, Mogoeng’s office said.
“During the commission of this criminal offence 15 computers were stolen in the office where the human resources and facilities units are located,” spokesman Nathi Mncube said.
“The stolen computers contain important information about judges and officials of the OCJ and constitute a huge setback for the entire administration of justice.”
The break-in was reported to the South African Police Service and various SAPS units were dispatched to the OCJ to conduct further investigations.
“Upon being informed of this crime the chief justice remarked that this must be viewed in a very serious light and the police ought to do everything in their power to ensure that the culprits are brought to book,” Mncube said.
