It added that the programme may have implications for the independence of the court because it was hard to know to what extent judges felt bound by the recommendation of two esteemed former members of the court. In his statement, Zondo reiterated that it was intended to improve the quality of the service the court renders to the public and suggested that critics of the programme had not properly understood the legal basis on which the retired justices rendered assistance.
“There are many apex courts around the world who have this arrangement. They include the US supreme court, the supreme court of Canada and the supreme court of Kenya.”
