# Deputy Justice minister Andries Nel calls on South Africa to defend its sovereignty from what he describes as domestic and external attacks by those opposed to transformation in the legal sector. He was speaking at the opening of a stakeholder engagement with legal practitioners. Nel says there is a concerted effort to undermine the legal sector code and broader transformation agenda. He criticised a vocal minority for spreading false claims about white genocide, and urges defence of the transformation charter.
