Judge diffuses potentially tense moment at JSC interview: Pretoria high court judge Sulet Potterill on Tuesday told JSC commissioner Julius Malema she had only once been on a full bench with Gauteng judge president Dunstan Mlambo.

This was later referred to by Mpofu as a rumoured “judicial hit squad” and was denied by Mlambo. However, names mentioned by Mpofu in February did not include Potterill.

The DJP would then often “be sitting, praying, hoping a judge becomes available. We don’t have extra judges.”Many of the SCA interviews so far have focused on candidates’ readiness for appointment to the appellate court, with acting president Xola Petse giving candidates feedback on their draft judgments from more senior colleagues at the court.

Potterill said that she had received substantive comments on some of her judgments, but on the two reportable judgments there were very few comments. But she said she “took the comments to heart” and they enriched her judgment.
