The security breach threw a harsh spotlight on safety and security at court buildings, with the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development confirming the metal detector at the court was stukkend and had not been reported.

Chintso was a murder accused set to appear at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court.

Minister of Justice Mmamoloko Kubayi said the security breach and the issue of metal detectors were preliminary factors that are being investigated.
