Raymond Zondo is the country’s new Chief Justice | Citypress

“The president’s decision follows consultation with the Judicial Service Commission and leaders of [political] parties in the National Assembly on four nominees for appointment as Chief Justice,” reads a statement by the presidency.

Once Zondo assumes his new role there will be a vacancy for Deputy Chief Justice. In this regard, the presidency said: “President Ramaphosa has accordingly indicated his intention, once the new Chief Justice assumes office, to nominate Justice Mandisa Maya for the position of Deputy Chief Justice.” “It is not my attitude that because I’m the Deputy Chief Justice, I’m the acting Chief Justice, automatically I am entitled to be appointed as the Chief Justice. It is not my attitude. I do not think that because I’m the acting Chief Justice, I’m the Deputy Chief Justice I am better than the other candidates. I see myself in the same way as the other candidates for whom I have a lot of respect. I have a personal relationship with them.

Zondo has been on the bench for 25 years. He was appointed a judge of the labour court in 1992, becoming the Judge President of the same court in 2000. Since 2012 he has been a judge of the Constitutional Court, making him one of the longest serving judges of the apex court. He has only two years left of his 12-year tenure.

Zondo is a man of actions and more

Ftsk

And so what

Great decision taken by President, congratulations to Mr Zondo
