Judges Matter explains the five-stage process of how the public nominations for the new chief justice is likely to take place.
Judges Matter welcomes President Ramaphosa’s call for nominations for next Chief Justice
Judges Matter would like to welcome the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that he is inviting public nominations for the position of the next Chief Justice of South Africa.
Time is running out. President Ramaphosa must appoint a new Chief Justice. We believe President Ramaphosa should follow a novel process for selecting the next Chief Justice. A process akin to President Mandela’s appointment of Chief Justice Mahomed.
Will President Ramaphosa introduce an open and democratic process for the appointment process of the new Chief Justice?
Following the April 2021 interviews and the recommendations of the JSC, President Ramaphosa has now appointed 28 candidates as judges
We discuss President Ramaphosa’s statements about the discussion of top judicial appointments within the ANC and look and whether the integrity of JSC appointment process need to be examined?
