The Department is the process of establishing a Language Unit in line
with the National Language Policy Framework. The establishment of
this new Chief Directorate will focus on Specialized Services which
will deal specifically with Small Claims Court and Language Services
within which this language unit will reside. Currently the Business
Process Improvement Directorate is conducting Job Investigations and
Evaluations for the re-alignment of the Branch: Court Services. As
soon as this process is completed and the budget allocations are set
aside, the Language Unit will be established.
