JSC and Casac reach agreement in this regard after complaints about ‘politicised’ April process
Shortly before that, the JSC released its shortlist for interviews to be conducted in October, revealing that it would be seeking to fill two vacancies at the Constitutional Court and that the list of candidates it would be interviewing was almost identical to the list of those interviewed in April.
The only candidate interviewed in April who is not on the October list is KwaZulu-Natal High Court judge Dhaya Pillay. She could not immediately be reached for comment. Casac applied to the Johannesburg High Court to declare the interviews in April unlawful and to set aside its recommended list to Ramaphosa for appointment to the apex court.
After the recording of the JSC’s confidential deliberations on the candidates was disclosed, Casac’s criticism of the process was even harsher, calling the interviews a “sham”.
