October 2019 Candidates

The October Magistrates Commission interviews took place from the 28 October – 4 November 2019.

The Appointments Committee of the Magistrates Commission short-listed candidates for 26 posts of Regional Magistrate at the beginning of October 2019. The short-list was approved by the Commission on 18 October 2019.

Interviews of 88 candidates took place from 28 October 2019 to 4 November 2019. Candidates were notified of the date, time and venue of their interviews.

As we have mentioned in a previous article; Magistrates Matter: Turning the light to shine on the magistracy, every day magistrates are responsible for dispensing justice to the citizens of South Africa and it is therefore important that we pay attention to who they are and how they are appointed.

Read our article; How Magistrates are selected and appointed in South Africa, for more details on this process.
