President Cyril Ramaphosa has nominated Deputy Chief Justice Mandisa Maya as Chief Justice of South Africa. This will make Maya the first female Chief Justice since the dawn of democracy if appointed.
Maya was first appointed to the bench in 2000 and has gone on to hold positions of Deputy President and President of the Supreme Court of Appeal. “The president has invited the leaders of political parties represented in the National Assembly to make submissions on the suitability or otherwise of Deputy Chief Justice Maya to hold the office of Chief Justice. President Ramaphosa has drawn the attention of leaders of political parties to Judge Maya’s illustrious judicial career in which she was first appointed a judge of the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court in 2000,” says Presidency Spokesperson Vincent Magwenya.
