Chief Justice candidate Mandisa Maya says position comes with ‘enormous responsibility’

Deputy Chief Justice Mandisa Maya faces pivotal appointment, pledging to uphold judiciary's integrity amid challenges.

Judiciary watchdog Judges Matter said Maya’s term as chief justice would come at a time when the judiciary was facing serious challenges and rapid changes. “The population has grown, complex and violent crime has gone up and many more cases are going to court than at any other point in history, but the number of judges has been the same over the past decade.“Meanwhile, there have been serious budget cuts to the judiciary. The chief justice will need to work with the government to resolve this challenge.”

“This is a legacy issue she would need to take up. Overall, the judiciary remains strong, despite its challenges.”
