Interviews for the position of Deputy Chief Justice are underway in Sandton, Johannesburg, on Wednesday.
Over the next two days, the Judicial Service Commission JSC will conduct rigorous interviews with each candidate, assessing their suitability to support and uphold the integrity of the country's legal system in this pivotal role.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has nominated three candidates: Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo, Free State Judge President Cagney Musi and Northern Cape Judge President Pule Tlaletsi.
The position has been vacant since Chief Justice Mandisa Maya assumed her role at the apex of the judiciary on 1 September 2024.
