The Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution (CASAC) says the Judicial Service Commission has usurped the constitutional power of the President of appointing a Chief Justice.

CASAC Executive Secretary Lawson Naidoo says the role of the JSC was to advice the president on the all four candidates and not to choose for him.

has recommended Supreme Court Justice Mandisa Maya as the next Chief Justice. This was just announced in a short statement by Commissioner Dali Mpofu, during a media briefing, which happened 5 hours later than the initially stated time. She reflected on the under-representation of women at all levels of the judiciary and says the quality of future judges is dependent on giving them exposure currently.

Function of JSC is to interview and recommend candidates for judicial positions. Recommendation is a suggestion or proposal as to the best course of action. Suggestion was given to the president and its his prerogative to decide. This article doesn't make sense!!!

It's a recommendation, not an appointment.

Morning ladies.Well according to me the process was handled fairly and professionally well.Politics will alway be part of everything anyway.Especially in Mzansi.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 mfana ke mfana. There are smart guys out there.

CASAC is playing their apartheid game. They were bought by white monopoly capital, now the ship is taking another direction. They are still going to defecate

I will be listening to Lawson tomorrow morning on 702. I hope he is invited.

CASAC is an apartheid organization that seeks to ensure decisions go the way of apartheid beneficiaries all the time.

QwinDido Anyone for a re-run?😅

They are mad, they will have to amend the constitution first, this is not a banana republic!

Why certain minorities of whites and Indians people have vested interest on Zondo and Mlambo? What have they been benefiting that they are worried about? Have they captured the judiciary before and now they are worried that they will be exposed?

This is totally misleading,JSC did not appoint anyone it recommended..Indians Racists and racism is at play here The Indian Cabal want to undermine our intelligence..JSC has been conducting this interviews for years,what has changed

They wish.

No, that's not true! Why all of these negativity now suddenly?

🤣🤣🤣.

Can they just be happy for Justice Maya for once!!!!

If it was their favorite they would have praised the process

ACJ Zondo failure to recuse himself in the Zuma matter came back to bite him as it proved FP Zuma' assertion that he is ' conflicted '. Between the two, Mlambo and Zondo, there are perceived clouds hanging over their necks!!!. Let it rest guys. May is the JSC' choice!!!.

The interviews were transparent and we followed them on TV and other media. JP Mlambo's downfall was his inconsistency on the ' powers of the PP and the sexual harassment ( even though untested) whie ACJ Zondo is his first denial of knowing and meeting FP Zuma( perceived perjury

Ndingowalapha EC nalo Mama ngowalapha EC but andifun abeyi CJ

They give him a Well done CJ ,for Ranko is to sign on the doted line is that difficult.

A backfire on the indecisive Cyril?

It happened to Zuma too when the then public protector excluded him in appointing a state capture judge, where was CASACZA Oh I forgot they were in court in support of that call.

Not surprised

This CASAC is a joke they act as if the speak to all citizens the process in our view meaning me and my community likes the way things are done very vigorous well done jsc

People hailed the president for this process but now that the JSC has not recommended the favorate candidate it is a problem

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Casac, what do you mean coz they just made a recommendation which Pres Ramaphosa can accept or disregard with sound reasons.

The same happened to Zuma when his right to nominate a judge to chair State of Capture Commission and nothing was wrong about that.

This CASAC

CASAC statement is anti-Black women, JSC recommended Judge Maya as new Chief Justice because the position has never been occupied by a woman.

These racists must voetsek

She is recommended no appointed yet,once this useless NGOs starts opposing you must know the appointment will be good for black people.

RECOMMENDED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Casac is the god of this country, if things don't go their way, they complain. We waiting for their time. Not surprised. They are politicians.

When it suits them, the power to appoint can be taken away and when it does not, it remains. In any event, the JSC has merely RECOMMNDED, let that sink. Their puppet can still appoint as they wish him to, and then where is the fight here.

Their problem is on this one word, ‘appointing’. Ironically it’s their language but they are so clouded with pushing their agenda. If you are black and they are fighting for you, it’s scary.

The Indians

Mxm

Who did they want? An when people start making accusations against the judiciary they act dumb

This is the most stupidest thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂

Imagine the whole nation coming here to debate lawson naidos stupid ethnical views 😂😂

Zuma constitutional poweres were not usurped of appointing chair of the commision? Musani ukunya lapha nina

😂🤣 When white skin plan goes different direction

Geraldmohlabe Casac is mischievous and suffering from Indian apartheid, from India to come and make silly noises here, we are waiting Rupert Forces

There's a distinctive difference between recommended and appointed. CASAC must not show us that they're controlled somewhere by these shortsighted views.

I think JP Maya must issue a statement acknowledging the recommendation by the JSC but make it clear that she is happy with the recommendation however if WHITE PEOPLE feel she is not what they want, she is happy to remain JP at the SCA. This white nonsense tendency must stop.

Mnxm

Who approached who motherfuckers?!

Lol Zuma laws are starting to backfire...where were u when Zuma was deprived of this power

I recommend spelling and grammar checks the writing in this article is terrible and makes me wonder about its legitimacy

SouthAfricansP1

Recommended! no one was appointed 🤡🤡🤡🤡

She is not yet appointed, all four names must be submitted to the president to exercise his prerogative decision. The JSC is conflicted

Recommending Maya became an itch in pro-Zondo quasi institutions.

Their decision is unconstitutional appointing the justice is a prerogative of the President. The commission should have submitted all 4 names to the President after the interviews... they simply cant order the prez or prescribe to him who he must appoin

Wasn't the same done with the appointment of a judge to chair the alleged state capture commission?

Who was suppose to be the CJ kanti I thought all interviewees had potential

The thing is CR17 beneficiary did not make it that is why the stupid noises by these clowns

Who are this people anyway.i support JSC.

Where was CASAC when ThuliMadonsela3 forbade PresJGZuma from appointing the State Capture Commission chairman as per the Constitution?

Who is this Indian representing - Lawson must start showing respect to democratic institutions and must be warned accordingly. What impudence

Cant trust Ramaphosa or Julius Malema

Ga re ile go utlwa ka bona😒🙄. They are not our public representatives in parliament. Please.

They can VOETSEK back to Punjab

We knew if Mr Zondo of Ramaphosa, Casac & Suzman foundation is not recommended that foreign NGOs are going to litigate. They're effectively saying, Ramaphosa must disregard the constitution and appoint Zondo.

They will be defeated 1 step at the time,Bantu nation is waking up only GOD is above all.this evil Colonial things will fall hard and would be ashamed to look at their own faces.roman empire fell at some stage even today are not notice by any nation.

Casac can voetsek
