President of Supreme Court of Appeal Mandisa Maya, during interviews for South Africa’s next Chief Justice at Park Hotel on February 02, 2022 in Sandton, South Africa.
Taking to its Twitter page, EFF, reacted as its organisation welcomes the idea. EFF wrote: “THE EFF WELCOMES RECOMMENDATION BY THE JUDICIAL SERVICE COMMISSION FOR JUDGE PRESIDENT MANDISA MAYA TO BE APPOINTED AS THE NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE.”
Maya, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, Judge Dunstan Mlambo, judge president of the Gauteng division of the high court and — the fourth candidate who ended the week’s proceedings with a 12-hour grilling was acting Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Friday.
However, before cameras were switched off on Friday night, interview chair Xola Petse read out an email that was not intended to be made public. It was from a law professor at Rhodes University who expressed concerns that the interview process had been flawed and consideration should be given to starting again from scratch to avoid the possibility of legal challenges.
Issues of concern included soft questioning of Maya and the introduction of sexual harassment “rumours” in the case of Mlambo — allegations that were scratched from the record.
Information reads:
“[BREAKING NEWS] JSC recommends Mandisa Maya: Judicial Service Commission recommended SCA Judge President as the next Chief Justice of South Africa.”
