Reference: - The Society of Advocates of the Transkie - (about period as Acting Judge in Eastern Cape 2007 2008). distinguished jurist. Quite incisive and pragmatic in his approach in issues before him for adjudication. Not being a member of our Bar and not originating from our area we met him for the first time upon his acting appointment to our Bench. He obviously has a wealth of experience on the Bench and it clearly shows. He is of amiable disposition and is very able on the Bench; his judgments are impeccable. The general feeling is that he would be quite an asset to our Bench and he would strengthen it enormously. We are not aware of any negative points against him. His integrity, as far as we are aware, is unquestionable.? Copy of Letter from Minister of Justice of South Africa Dear Judge Greenland, 19 April 2001 Now that the two year period of your acting appointment as CEO of the RAF has come to an end, I would like to record my appreciation for services which you rendered as Acting CEO, both during the period of office of my predecessor, Mr. Mac Maharaj and myself. You rendered valuable services in your capacity as acting CEO under very difficult circumstances. I express appreciation for this. I also enjoyed your respect and co-operation at all times and for this also I would like to say thank you. I know you will always be available to render assistance to the Fund. With your experience and dedication, you will continue to be of great help and your service is appreciated. With best wishes to you. Yours sincerely Advocate Chris Greenland to be made a judge.

I contacted him because we had been requested by Alibaba Dlodlo and found guilty of attacking the prime minister?s residence in June He had represented this group pro I found Greenland a very troubled man He said that the failure of the appeal was something that he would have to live with for the rest of his life, and he kept wondering if there was something better he could have done for the So now we could help them with a clear conscience.
