"We don't have sufficient courtrooms. I have taken some steps to address those problems, but the problem now is with the public works, load shedding - where you there is no electricity as early as 10 o'clock or twice a day.
"We don't have a generator. Lifts are not always in order. When it comes to access to justice, there's a lot of problems created by these traditional leadership disputes.
"There are too many in KwaZulu-Natal where you find people toyi-toying and jumping all day wanting to address their question of traditional leadership."
