Vuka Tshabalala ON TRIAL
The South African Jurisprudence personified
Through Vuka Tshabalala’s story, Black people recognised that a judge was not a demigod but a human being who appreciated some of their experiences in adjudicating over their matters.
The story of Tshabalala, curates the opportunities within the legal profession that are enjoyed today precipitated by the trials of our forefathers.
Tshabalala’s story amplifies the full circle of what ‘trials’ in the legal jargon would entail and mean. In his own words when he hung his robes, he explained, “I have put people first in my time as a judge and all judges should be available so that people may realise that they belong to society.”
