Stephan van Rensburg, chair of the sub-district of Tzaneen’s advisory board of the small claims court thanked Bhamjee and Nyakane for making themselves available.
“Last year more than 100 cases were completed and this is important work since it lightens the load on the civil roll,” said Van Rensburg.
