The head of the judiciary is set to retire at the end of this month after 27 years in the judiciary

On Wednesday, members of the judiciary will hold a special sitting in the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg in honour of the outgoing Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.As law experts reflected on Zondo’s career, his time as the Chairperson of the State Capture Commission was highlighted as the hallmark of his career.

“That support kept us going even when it was very dark. Because wherever I I always met people who said thank you for the job you are doing for the country. That for me was such a motivation that we could not let the people of South Africa down,” added Zondo.Retired Chief Justice and friend to the outgoing Chief Justice, Mogoeng Mogoeng sought to dispel misconceptions that he propelled Zondo’s career when he asked him to Chair the State Capture Commission.

Addressing guests at Zondo’s farewell, Mogoeng said he had reached out to several judicial officers to no avail. Justice and Constitutional Development Minister, Thembi Simelane praised Zondo for leading the Commission as the country tried to uphold the rule of law.
