The designated Sexual Offences area in the Plettenberg Bay Magistrates’ Court, including waiting areas, are controlled and secured through the biometric system (central pool). This system was affected by the electrical power outage which occurred and affected the entire area. When the municipality restored electricity, the courts conducted a functionality test, and a call was logged to restore the biometric system, which is a security function that controls and restricts access to protect court users. As of 21st October 2022 the system is now functional.
