Zondi tells the JSC he wants to double the number of Electoral Court judges
The JSC has recommended that judge Dumisani Zondi be appointed chair of the Electoral Court. Picture: SUPPLIED
Zondi said the court has gained renown across Africa and internationally. When there were disputes, such as in Kenya, members of the court had been invited to assist. It was important to maintain that respect. The court has no white, Indian or coloured members and there needs to be more representation as mandated by the constitution. The court has five judges, two of whom are not drawn from the judiciary. Zondi said he would also scrap this and have all members of the court drawn from the judiciary.
