“We have agreed to shortlist eight names and that the interviews will take place over two days, the 23rd and 24th of August. The names and committees shortlisted are as follows: Miss Lukhaimane, Adv. Thipanayne, Advocate Marais, Advocate Gcaleka, Advocate Josie, Advocate Ntsewa, Miss Lewaba, and Professor Mmusinyane.
