KwaZulu-Natal judge Thoba Poyo-Dlwati wants to be judge president of the division.
She said after the commission failed to appoint judge Isaac Madondo as judge president in April this year — even though he was the only contender for the job — she had been approached to put her name forward for the job.“I can say without fear of contradiction I have the support of the majority of judges in KZN. My age and warm personality will assist in bringing stability to our division.”
Her decision to go for the top job this time round, in opposition to him, was seen by some in the legal fraternity as disloyal. To ensure the smooth running of the division, everyone will be included through a revised system of committeesreopen circuit courts, giving more access to justice;encourage mediation rather than litigation; andShe also wanted to give judges more time to draft judgments.At present, there are 30 posts, with 27 filled.
“To ensure the smooth running of the division, everyone will be included through a revised system of committees.”
