In a case where a white senior magistrate has been fighting for 12 years to obtain justice, a judge now says there is definitely space for competent white appointments. equalitycourt judge magistrate pretorianews

Then-justice minister Jeff Radebe refused to fill the post, as well as 23 other posts advertised at the time, for senior magistrates. This was in spite of the fact that the Magistrates’ Commission recommended Kroukamp for the position.

Judge Raulinga said Radebe kept on hammering on the fact that he could not make any appointments on only one recommendation for each post, but he “offered no explanation in law for why this is so”. The Magistrates’ Commission ad- vertised 23 posts in 2009, and compiled a shortlist for magistrates across the country, including Kroukamp.Radebe found the information insufficient to make the appointments, and questioned the commission as to why only one candidate per post was recommended.

It further said all the recommendations made to the minister reflected all genders and races and that out of the 23 posts, only three whites were recommended. While Kroukamp said he understood that former disadvantaged groups should be prioritised, it was unfair discrimination to simply leave a post vacant because the only suitable candidate was white.
