The Judicial Service Commission will, however, be interviewing candidates for various vacancies in the country’s other courts between the 7th and 15th October 2024.
JOHANNESBURG - The Judicial Service Commission has not shortlisted any candidates to interview for a vacant seat on the bench of the Constitutional Court during its next sitting in October.
Publishing its shortlist on Monday, the body said it could not shortlist anyone for the single vacancy at the apex court because it didn’t receive enough nominations.However, in terms of the Constitution, it needs to shortlist three more people than there are vacancies.The JSC will, however, be interviewing at least six candidates for three vacancies at the Supreme Court of Appeal again, including KwaZulu-Natal High Court Judge Piet Koen.
The JSC will also be interviewing candidates for the position of Judge President of the Western Cape High Court following the previous incumbent, John Hlophe’s impeachment earlier this year.
