Judges weigh in on virtual hearings By Kathryn Kimberley - 10 April 2021
Judges and advocates from across SA have debated the pros and cons of court proceedings moving to virtual hearings during the Covid-19 lockdown, with some participants, mostly from the Eastern Cape, flagging the difficulties presented by unequal internet access and high data costs.
An hour-long, first-of-its-kind hybrid panel discussion on the issue, hosted by the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the University of Cape Town’s Democratic Governance and Rights Unit, took place on Wednesday evening.

“How do you conduct an open court if everything is remote and you only have the participants [in the virtual hearing]?” asked Judge Glenn Goosen, an acting justice in the Supreme Court of Appeal, at a panel discussion on accessing justice and online courts, on Wednesday.
At the hybrid panel discussion, which had guests online and in person, hosted by the Hanns Seidel Foundation and UCT’s Democratic Governance and Rights Unit, Goosen asked: How do we ensure that we’re accountable and transparent when so many people are being excluded from what’s happening?
To address this challenge, the Eastern Cape High Court decided to record its sessions and post them on YouTube, said Goosen. The Constitutional Court also regularly posts its sessions on YouTube.
