In less than a month, Mogoeng Mogoeng will vacate the judicial hot seat - and on Thursday, President Cyril Ramaphosa invited South Africans to nominate a replacement.

“The president will decide which candidates from the shortlist presented to him by the panel of eminent persons to refer to the Judicial Service Commission and the leaders of political parties represented in the National Assembly for consultation, as required by the constitution, before appointing the new chief justice,” the presidency said.

The person is also responsible for “leading the creation of jurisprudence as he or she presides over proceedings of the Constitutional Court”. Ramaphosa said: “The chief justice occupies a vital position in our democratic constitutional order. It is therefore appropriate that all South Africans should have an opportunity to witness and participate in the selection of the next chief justice.

The EFF said it rejected the composition of the panel, saying that it was made up of"questionable characters".
