JSC to resume interviews to fill vacancies in the country's superior courts

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) will resume its quest to fill vacancies in the country's superior courts on Monday.

The JSC has been interviewing candidates since last week in Sandton.

So far, the commission has made recommendations to fill posts in the Constitutional Court, the Labour Court and the High Court in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.

Despite interviewing six candidates to fill vacancies in the Supreme Court of Appeal last week, the JSC resolved not to recommend any candidates for appointment.

However, for the apex court, the commission has recommended five candidates to the president for two spots on the bench.

The commission will interview three judges for the position of deputy judge president in the Eastern Cape.

Two candidates will also be interviewed for one vacancy of judge in the Free State High Court.

The interviews are set to run until Wednesday, with interviews for the bench in Gauteng and Limpopo also scheduled.
