By the time a handful of public matters make it past the Investigating Committee and the internal appeals barrier, the LPC has already consumed over 78% of its actual hearing capacity chasing minor bookkeeping clutter and overdue R2,000 subscription levies from its own members.

Cicero said, "The worst kind of injustice is to look for profit from injustice." And across centuries, the same warnings of the ancient repeat: justice erodes the moment power learns it can cloak its self-interest in the language of law. And people still seek access to justice, yet sometime find only injustice in the legal system.
