Percy Yutar was a South African lawyer who became the country's first Jewish attorney-general. He was the state prosecutor in the Rivonia trial in which Nelson Mandela and seven others were convicted of sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Benjamin Bennett (1907–1985) was a prominent South African crime writer. His prolific output of books reflects a close involvement, as a crime reporter, both at the crime scene and in the courtroom, where his professional life regularly took him, pen and notebook in hand. It is said that, for his insight, he was even consulted by the police for the solving of certain complex cases. He is credited with having posed the most plausible scenarios for enduring murder mysteries, such as that of Jacoba “Bubbles” Schroeder.
