Justice Cameron, 66, retired from active service on Tuesday exactly 25 years after first serving as an acting judge of the high court, and over 10 years at the ConCourt after former president Kgalema Motlanthe appointed him to the apex court in January 2009.
In one of his final parting shots, Justice Cameron said the courts should intervene to ensure a functioning land-reform programme. The minister added that he would be taking Tuesday's judgement to the Cabinet meeting which sits on Wednesday, calling the ruling "a standing rebuke on us as government".
Justice Cameron first gained prominence in 1999 by publicly declaring that he had been living with HIV since 1987, and had only survived death through the help of antiretroviral treatment he had begun taking in 1997.
