Zuma Foundation wants Ramaphosa to reverse his decision, a year after he appointed Raymond Zondo as Chief Justice. 👀 Zuma Zondo Read more here ⬇️
“Our clients also have reason to believe that Judge Zondo was correctly ranked last by the JSC following its post-interview deliberations. This means that, in the independent view of the JSC, all the other three nominees performed far better than Judge Zondo and he was determined to be the least suitable or an unsuitable candidate,” the attorneys said.
The attorney also said the legal requirement of Ramaphosa making the appointment after consultation with the JSC “was not met in the circumstances”. “It is also our clients’ belief that the appointment was accompanied by ulterior, illegal and unconstitutional and personal motives on your part.”The Zuma Foundation has demanded that Ramaphosa reverse his decision to appoint Judge Zondo as Chief Justice and accused the president of ignoring or overlooking the recommendations of the JSC.
“Such conduct was clearly in violation of your constitutional obligations conferred in terms of section 178, read with section 83 of the Constitution. You are required to do so on or before 11 May 2023.” The lawyers added that the Zuma Foundation will institute “urgent legal proceedings” against Ramaphosa if he doesn’t meet its demands.
