| Summary, etc. |
Chiefs as traditional leaders continue to play a significant role in Africa and in some countries such as Botswana where they have been integrated into the modern system of public administration. Their role is particularly significant in the administration of justice as they co-exist with the modern set-up of judiciary and deal with almost 90 per cent of the cases handled by the courts. The people in the rural areas find the justice administered by these customary courts to be comprehensible, inexpensive, speedy, and not too technical. These courts have been recognised by law, derive their authority from tradition as well as from statutes and administer customary as well as statutory law. This article covers historical and contemporary background, nature of authority and jurisdiction of these courts, their relations with modern courts, machinery for their administration at the central and district levels, machinery for the review of cases, role of Customary Court of Appeal and of local police. - Reproduced. |
