The JSC removed Kathree-Setiloane, who is a judge at the high court in Johannesburg and was retired Constitutional Court justice Yvonne Mokgoro’s first clerk
The Judicial Service Commission released the shortlist of candidates for President Cyril Ramaphosa to appoint the next two Constitutional Court justices, on Wednesday evening.
Kathree-Setiloane’s interview ended in a heated fashion after she was quizzed by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng on issues between her and her clerks, one of which was SCA president Mandisa Maya’s daughter, when she was an acting judge in the Constitutional Court. She said she had no reservations about being an “activist” judge. Basson said her academic background, including becoming a full professor after working herself up through the ranks, helped her in dealing with complex cases.Jody Kollapen, 61, who for the second time has thrown his name into the hat for a position at the apex court, has a history as a human rights activist.
He was asked whether his age should be taken into consideration, given that a Constitutional Court justice serves a nonrenewable term of 12 years or until the age of 70, whichever came first.Stevan Majiedt, 58, This was the second time Majiedt appeared in front of the JSC after he did not make the cut for the apex court in 2017.
He said if he was recommended to the apex court merely because he was seen as coloured, he did not want the job. • Patricia Goliath, 54, the deputy judge president in the Western Cape appointed in 2016, has acted in the Constitutional Court for a year in that period to now.
