EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The document is an executive summary of a study documenting over sixty restorative justice projects in South Africa. It evaluates services provided by probation, correctional services, civil society, traditional leaders, and other support sectors, concluding that while some 'pockets of good activity' exist, they are insufficient to meet actual needs and are severely limited by a lack of proper funding arrangements.

• The study identified more than sixty projects relevant to restorative justice in South Africa, which the authors treat as a philosophy or approach rather than a specific programme.
• Analysis across sectors—including probation, correctional services, civil society, traditional leaders, victim support, child care, and family law—indicates that existing activities are insufficient to meet the actual need and are hindered by a lack of funding arrangements.
