DA questions timing of burglary at Mogoeng's office
Updated | By Jacaranda FM News
The Democratic Alliance (DA)'s Glynnis Breytenbach says it's suspicious that the break-in at the Office of the Chief Justice comes just days after the Constitutional Court handed down a damning judgment in the social grants case.

"It must be seen as an attack on the judiciary and an intimidation tactic. Clearly they (suspects) were after the personal information of the judges," she says.
On Friday, the Constitutional Court extended the contract between the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) and Cash Paymaster Services (CPS) for a further 12 months, to ensure social grants are paid.
Similar to the robbery at the Helen Suzman Foundation, almost a year ago exactly, the DA views this as an act of intimidation.
"It is highly suspicious that the break-in occurred the day after the Constitutional Court handed down a damning judgement in which they were highly critical of the Minister of Social Development, Bathabile Dlamini, and the social grants crisis she has manufactured," the party says.
Fifteen computers containing personal information about judges had been stolen from the office's human resources department on Saturday.

Breytenbach says the opposition party will be submitting parliamentary questions as to why there was inadequate security at the Office of the Chief Justice in Midrand.
Police have confirmed the establishment of a multidisciplinary team to investigate the burglary.
The task team includes detectives, forensic analysis, experts as well as crime intelligence experts.
The team is being led by Gauteng deputy police commissioner Major General Mary Motsepe.
Police have described the investigation as being at a sensitive stage.
No arrests have been made.
