CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - South Africa's top judges recommended diversity training in a long-awaited report on racism in the judiciary published Friday.
The report was compiled under the chairmanship of Pius Langa, a former shirt factory worker who was sworn in as the country's first black Chief Justice earlier this year.
It came after Cape Town's chief judge, John Hlophe, complained in April of racism among judges and lawyers in his division. Hlophe claimed that black judges were deliberately belittled by their white counterparts who laughed at them if they spoke in their native languages and excluded them from social and business functions.
