Tracy Brown Murdered

More than a year after prosecutor Tracy Brown was murdered, her former colleagues say safety concerns remain unresolved.

“Please just make sure, when you take my morgue pictures, that I look good.”

Security Claims

Department of Justice says security has been strengthened but prosecutors remain uneasy about safety.

Safety Concerns

Prosecutors report threats, corrupt court orderlies, and unsafe court conditions.

Brown's Premonition

Brown warned colleagues her death would be linked to a case she was working on.

Murder Details

Brown was killed on 31 July 2025 outside her home in Young Park by men allegedly linked to Buhle Mbini.

Prosecutors' Recusal

A prosecutor recused himself from a case after receiving threatening messages.

Kubayi's Promise

Justice Minister Kubayi pledged urgent attention to security and infrastructure at New Brighton court.

“Here we do not have cctvs, we do not have digital cameras, and we don’t even have personnel physically”

Security Measures

Department claims enhanced CCTV, access control, and security screening at courts.

Police Response

Police say allegations of corrupt court orderlies were unsubstantiated with no formal investigation.

Current Status

Men accused of Brown's murder are due back in court later this month for trial.

Ongoing Threats

Prosecutors report regular threats, including threatening messages and physical intimidation.

No Progress

More than a year has passed with little change in safety conditions for prosecutors.
