Zondo said it was the role of the judiciary to act as the “upper guardian” of the constitution and during those years “certain events occurred in our country” that tested the role of the courts “to the limit”.

The sentence was followed by the July 2021 unrest, during which “judges were attacked, demeaned, threatened and intimidated”.“All this because the judges had sought to play the role provided for them in the constitution,” he said.

She hurled these insults at black judges who, together with their white counterparts, worked hard to uphold and protect the constitution. The judiciary had responded “decisively”, he said. Often, attacks came from people who wanted cases decided in a certain way or were unhappy with the way cases had been decided. But judges had taken an oath to uphold the constitution and the law.

“We will always decide cases without fear, favour or prejudice. This is the oath of office we have taken.”
