People We’ve Helped

Since its inception in 2008, the Wits Justice Project has followed numerous cases of wrongfully convicted individuals and publicised individual stories in various print and digital media outlets. In so doing, the project effectively used individual cases to highlight systemic issues within South Africa’s criminal justice system.

We have collated our major stories into a single page that will be regularly updated as the stories develop.
