A University of Limpopo law professor believes there should be a limited number or no political appointees to the Judicial Service Commission , which oversees the appointments of judges. The theme of the conference was"Reflections and the Road Ahead", and Sibanda was part of a panel on transforming and building an independent and resilient judiciary.
News24 previously reported several instances of JSC members using interviews to settle political scores against judges who had ruled against them, their leaders or their political allies. At the conference on Wednesday, Sibanda also spoke about transforming the judiciary, saying more needed to be done because for"quite too long, the judiciary was white and male dominated"."Society will feel very much safe and really taken care of when those who are judging reflect society."
