Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has recommended Gauteng Judge President Dunstan Mlambo to be the next Deputy Chief Justice.
The JSC has concluded its interviews in Johannesburg today.
The other two candidates were Northern Cape Judge President Pule Tlaletsi and Free State Judge President Cagney Musi.
The position has been vacant since Chief Justice Mandisa Maya assumed her role at the apex of the judiciary in September last year.
JSC Commissioner Advocate Sesi Baloyi says their proposal will go to President Cyril Ramaphosa for his consideration.
“The JSC has decided to advise the President that J.P. Mlambo of the Counting Division is suitable for appointment as Deputy Chief Justice,” says Baloyi.
