The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has interviewed five candidates so far for four positions in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
Commissioners have been under strict instructions from Chief Justice Raymond Zondo to limit questioning to candidates’ legal career, following the JSC's previous tendency to allow matters of a personal nature.
The four women candidates who’ve already served in the national appellate court faced tough questioning from its deputy Judge President Xola Petse, in particular about their judgments and how they had engaged with other judges in that court. Petse: "You were not interested in that invitation in the sense that you indicated that you were ready a year ago."Meanwhile, KwaZulu-Natal Judge Mokgere Masipa had to explain a complaint about not crediting a colleague who had contributed to one of her SCA judgments.
