South Africa Spent Over R76 Million on Foreign-Language Court Interpreters

Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has revealed that South Africa spent more than R76 million on foreign-language court interpreters during the 2024/25 financial year, with Shona interpretation accounting for the largest share at R8.7 million.

The disclosure comes amid a significant number of foreign nationals appearing before South African courts, with nearly 39,000 criminal cases involving foreign nationals recorded in district and regional courts during the same period.

Kubayi noted that the Department of Justice does not track interpretation costs based on immigration status, making it impossible to determine how much was spent on cases involving undocumented migrants.

The figures were released in response to parliamentary questions and have renewed debate around the financial and operational pressures facing the justice system, which is also grappling with a shortage of qualified court interpreters nationwide.
