The JSC errs by thinking of itself as having a choice between either doing right by black people and women or giving some white men opportunities to contribute to the highest court of the land. That is a spectacularly false dichotomy that costs society.

It is grossly unacceptable for the Judicial Service Commission to be so coy about what the criteria genuinely are for eligibility to be elected as a constitutional court judge. More precisely, the JSC must be blunt about any exclusionary threshold requirements so potential candidates do not waste their time throwing names into a hat from which theirs could never be drawn.

The most obvious elephant in the JSC room is the racialised elephant. Does being white or a white male exclude someone a priori? If so, why not tell the likes of judge David Unterhalter and advocate Alan Dodson to not bother applying at all. But once you invite them for an interview, then the operating assumption has got to be that they are in with a chance.

Eusebius Jy is op die regte pad my broer, laat jou hoor, jy was my radio luister genot. Bravo

If they want to stop yes

When is this picture from? He looks so different!

This is not a new things to us job seeker, most companies will specify gender n race.

Ah ofayo akafe mani, nabo during their reign bekungekho muntu omnyama so let the take a back seat and relax.. M no racist but for now let them chill

My beliefs is that our Judiciary must reflect the image of the population. We undoing the colonial way of doing things where the majority was never present in matters that involves them. Let's give black Judges who study under difficult environment prior 1994 to image

People lose weight after they leave Radio702

We still have to level the playing field, over 300 yrs of oppression with no opportunities given to black ppl,whites ppl still whining and mourning, with no remorse to the humiliation they have done to the black ppl, it's time we have Africans laws fully implemented for Africa

I was talking to my friend Ahmed a while ago after graduation from university, we felt that everything is west. This rogue system is everything and money is everything.

Eusebius Neve thought you would. Good to see👏👏👏👏🙏🏼

Never thought you would, but great to see👏

Applying doesn't mean you will get the job. They must continue to apply but the line is a bit longer.

I wish I could read the article but not subscribed. A good question because it seems decisions are made long in advance before they reach the interview.

In journalism, context matters and this article seek to serve a narrative

I want to read this but I don't want to subscribe

Mxm stupid and poor journalism

New interviews, same result: JSC recommends exact same names for appointment to ConCourtOnce these appointments have been made, the president must still fill a further two vacancies and appoint a chief justice before the Constitutional Court will have its full complement of 11 members. Deputy Chief Justice Zondo is a fearless Judge whose loyalty cannot be bought. Under his leadership SA will not be made another Banana Republic by corrupt looters.

Twisting the facts to suit?
