Description: Civil rights organisation Action Society has raised concerned about the wave of violence targeting South Africa's justice system. The organisation has condemned the attacks on courts and legal professionals as a direct threat to the rule of law.

Police believe the accused may have been targeted to prevent him from turning state witness. Elvis Presslin spoke to Action Society Spokesperson, Juanita du Preez
