South Africa is ready for a woman chief justice: Although the debate about whether the country is ready for a woman chief justice is absurd and misogynistic, the answer is a resounding yes — and it is long overdue
. Although the question is absurd, misogynistic and a confirmation of our patriarchal society, the answer is a resounding yes — and it is long overdue.
Already, actions, in the form of condemnation and even attempts at the removal of a commissioner, have become the preoccupation of professional legal bodies that are calling for heads to roll. Advocate Dali Mpofu is in the crosshair of these attempts. Pundits have written or indicated that the process is politicised,. Lest we forget, the process is a form of politics, which is why politicians are involved.
All these verbal entrapments are important to unpack so that we don’t mistake the trees for the forest. If we recall the, one can only conclude that the process is not necessarily a shoo-in. This is one such occasion. South Africa cannot continue as it is today. Leadership matters and people who exercise leadership do matter. The prevalent narrative that the process to select a new chief justice is “farcical”, or “illegal” should as well acknowledge that the end result may be good for our country.
