Who We Are - Our Mission & Purpose
Case Forward is a response to South Africa’s alarming levels of serious and violent crime and the persistent backlog of unresolved cases. These realities devastate families, communities and businesses and place justice professionals under immense pressure, leaving them unable to move cases forward.
Our purpose is to empower the justice system by strengthening every stage of the chain of custody and crime management process. By connecting private expertise with state partners and frontline professionals, we deliver practical, forward-thinking and tech-enabled solutions that address overwhelming caseloads and outdated systems.
We champion reform, partnership and smarter systems for justice that is timely, transparent and accessible for every family and professional in South Africa.
Case Forward is grounded in the belief that systems can work better, that collaboration matters, and that practical change is possible when people come together with purpose.
The non-profit exists to bring the right people to the table – and to ensure that the main focus is always action. This is not about finger-pointing or blame. It is about solutions. Case Forward was built with the intent to help move cases forward – for families, for justice, and for South Africa.
