President Cyril Ramaphosa announced deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo as the new chief justice on Thursday.

He will also nominate Supreme Court of Appeal president Mandisa Maya as the deputy chief justice, a statement from the presidency on Thursday said.

The appointments followed a lengthy public nomination process and a widely criticised set of interviews by the Judicial Service Commission , after which the commission recommended Maya for the job. It was then a month before the president made his choice. In a statement, Ramaphosa said the nomination of Maya will be subjected to the consultation processes required by the Constitution.

"I have every confidence that Justice Zondo will acquit himself with distinction in this position,” Ramaphosa said in a statement.

Payback time Mr President, you kept your promise.

Great news

He's been waiting for his handler's permission ohhh! Cry the beloved country, they are super happy to have such an obedient stoogie, their mission is now complete. SA is captured. Don't know why they waisted time with the interviews.

It was obvious it was... 'You scratch my back I scratch yours..' that's what happened here.🤔 Barry White didn't implicate Ramaphosa to state capture & Ramaphosa pays him by appointing him to be CJ. This is happening right b4 our eyes & there's nothing we can do about it now.

Looking forward to mam’ ChristineQunta ‘s commentary on the Cheif Justice appointment and DCJ nomination.
