Historic Mogale City court revamped

Mogale City’s Heritage, Arts and Culture Section is excited to announce the reopening of its historic courtroom after a temporary slumber due to renovations.

According to Mogale City Local Municipality (MCLM) communication officer Refilwe Mahlangu, the preserved building that dates to the late 19th century is now a newly revamped courtroom that offers an unparalleled backdrop for a variety of film-related activities.
