The Congress of the People (COPE) says the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has been politicised and has overstepped its mandate regarding its role in the appointment of the country’s next Chief Justice.

[File Image] The Constitutional Court of South Africa hosts a ceremony in honour of former Chief Justice Pius Langa in the Court Chambers.

On Wednesday, Ramaphosa told journalists that despite the JSC’s recommendations, the prerogative rests with him. “The JSC has become a political football, where you don’t look at the interests of the country. That recommendation by the JSC is contrary to the constitution that they must propose names to the president, not one name. In other words, they are telling the president that this person must be appointed as Chief Justice.”COPE also remains steadfast that South Africa’s Constitution must not be amended to allow for Land Expropriation Without Compensation.

Cope is dead

COPE is bankrupt and Oppenheimer and Johan Rupert saw the opportunity to bribe them to discredit constitutional recommendations of JSC

There's no cope except that old bitter stupid called Bloem, bean sized brain 🤮💩

WITH MALEMA AND MPOFU THERE ONE CANNOT EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE. THEY ARE ONLY THERE TO FURTHER THE AIMS OF THE EFF.

KidiPotse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

H.E the president ramaposa women must be empowered. Prove it Mr president, appoint judge Maya

Eish this is one party of fools that will say anything to please baas. It's the same party that's supporting Afriforum so that land can't be given back to blacks eish, and they're anti AA hey. Group of Askaris

Cope is useless, the JSC made it clear that the president has the final say. interestingly the tainted 2 judges are the cabal favourites.

Terror is clearly not COPEing

Anyone who still takes that old man serious is stupid nje qha

The same cope with Lakota who stood firm in defense of the land in favor of white people, choosing the white cabal over azanian people, who take em serious

Basangene labo

Cope failed to be attractive to voters so whatever they say is hot air

Kana who is COPE? Remind us please

Nonsense politicians are people's representative in all matters of public interest.

Those ones won't have a voice after the next elections

True how do u have politicians or non legal ppl interview legal professionals 🙄

How did COPE perform in the 2019 elections?

Akaniyeke ukuvusa lo blom

JSC does not appoint CJ, the president does.

By Cope you mean Mosia Lekota? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
