Be blunt JSC should white men not apply to be Constitutional Court judges?

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.

The JSC should tell us whether white men should stop applyingThe 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.

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.
