Supreme Court of Appeal President Mandisa Maya is set to be interviewed for the position of Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court on Monday.

The position became vacant when Justice Raymond Zondo took the helm at the apex court earlier this year.after its week-long interview process.

Maya is now set to be the first woman Deputy Chief Justice of the country. While other women have acted in the position as recently as Justice Sisi Khampepe last year -Maya would be the first to officially occupy this seat.Born in rural Eastern Cape, the trailblazer worked as a court interpreter and prosecutor before joining the Women’s Legal Defence in Washington DC. As the country transitioned to democracy Maya worked as an investigator for the Independent Electoral Commission .

“There is no shortage of young women lawyers who join the profession to do articles of clerkship, to serve pupilage, but something happens once they get into the professions to practice and they fall through the cracks, and that is where we should be looking”, says Maya. “Maya has been doing a good job at the SCA, some may say it’s only four years and that the court could benefit from her leadership stability”, says Dan Matora from the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution.
