Voices | Although he does have detractors in the judiciary who question his administrative abilities, Zondo is respected for his intellectual heft, resolute leadership and workaholism, writes Mondli Makhanya
In its assessment of who could ultimately emerge as head of South Africa’s judiciary following the Judicial Service Commission interviews, the organisation Judges Matter alluded to the fact that Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo’s role as chair of the state capture commission “may well have an impact on the political considerations of his appointment, although it is difficult to assess how this is likely to play out”.
Judges Matter continued: “Zondo has been praised by some as an unlikely hero in the fight against corruption and bad governance, but he has also earned a mountain of detractors in the political realm, especially regarding the saga involving former president Jacob Zuma’s demand for Zondo’s recusal, and his subsequent arrest and imprisonment for refusing to testify at the Zondo commission.
