What is the purpose of the Judicial Service Commission? How are commissioners elected? What is the nature and democratic significance of the work of the JSC?
I invited Karyn Maughan, senior legal reporter for News24, to join me to explain, firstly, where and how the JSC fits into our lives.
We then examined and debated whether the current JSC is fit for purpose. Along the way we assessed how the current selection of judges is going, and also asked whether white men are now excluded a priori from selection to the highest court in the land.
