JSC praises Unterhalter's competence, but snubs him again - as Malema trumpets his 'results'

After nearly four hours of deliberation, the Judicial Service Commission announced that it supported the appointments of Judges Fayeeza Kathree-Setiloane and Maleshane Kgoele to the Supreme Court of Appeal - and, again, snubbed Judge David Unterhalter.

Moments after the JSC announced that decision, which will result in only half of the SCA's four vacancies being filled, EFF leader and JSC commissioner Julius Malema appeared to suggest that he had influenced that outcome. On Tuesday, News24 reported that Malema had remained silent during the JSC's first day of SCA interviews, which had focused entirely on questions that explored the judicial competence of the candidates vying for appointment to the country’s second highest court.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.
