JSC recommends 5 candidates for appointment to Supreme Court of Appeal

JOHANNESBURG - The Judicial Service Commission has recommended five candidates for appointment to the bench of the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa.The process kicked off on Monday, with candidates for openings at the SCA the first to take the hot seat.Eleven candidates were interviewed for five positions on the bench during the second round of JSC interviews.

Those who didn’t make the cut include Judges Anna Kgoele, Piet Koen, Mandela Makaula, Sulet Potterill, John Smith and Bashier Vally. The interviews were a far more stayed affair than previous iterations, but candidates still faced some tough questions from the panel. Makaula was particularly grilled over the Sigcau judgment, which he authored during an acting stint at the SCA recently.
