## Resource

Retired judges are sounding the alarm over “Stalingrad tactics” — endless legal delays crippling the justice system, with cases like Jacob Zuma’s arms deal stuck for two decades. Judges Roland Sutherland and Mbuyiseli Madlanga warn these tactics, often favored by the wealthy, erode public trust and court efficiency. While lawyers have rights to zealous advocacy, they must not weaponize the system for delay. Courts already have tools to stop abuse, but judges need to enforce them firmly — and oversight bodies must act faster. The broader issue? A societal erosion of integrity affecting the legal profession. Time to fix delays, enforce rules, and restore faith in justice.
