The judge who has been presiding over the State’s often-delayed corruption case against Jacob Zuma has missed out on an appointment to the Supreme Court of Appeal, while the judge who invalidated the former president's medical parole was given the nod.
The Judicial Service Commission has chosen five candidates to recommend to President Cyril Ramaphosa for vacancies on the Supreme Court of Appeal Bench.
"I’m worried… what kind of society will we become, in line with corrective measures, to imprison elderly people, we are not going to benefit anything from them," Malema said, after insisting that he was not referring to any specific case. During his interview on Monday, Koen told the JSC that he was"gutted" by Mogoeng's criticism during the JSC interviews for SCA candidates in April 2021, and believed that it was"unjustified".
Koen's exclusion from the SCA shortlist does mean the Zuma prosecution will not be interrupted by him leaving his High Court post, and a replacement trial judge needing to be appointed. After two days of interviews, judges Glenn Goosen, Pieter Meyer, Daisy Molefe, Sharise Weiner and Matojane made the cut.Three of these white candidates were chosen.

Hushpuppi is awaiting sentencing by a United States court. He apologised to the victims of his crimes, law enforcement agencies, U.S. government's lawyers, and the judge handling his case. He expressed his willingness to pay full restitution of U.S.$1.7 million to all victims including those from whom he claimed not to have derived any gain. Hushpuppi participated in scams that resulted in losses of U.S.$24 million to the victims. He was arrested in Dubai in June 2020 alongside 12 other people who were part of the scam.
