Congratulations Chief Justice Zondo

Dear Editor

The Democratic Alliance wishes Chief Justice Raymond Zondo farewell, as, after 27 years on the Bench, he begins the next chapter of his life.

In 2012 Justice Zondo was appointed as a Justice to the Constitutional Court, and later in 2017 the Deputy Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa. In 2018 he led the State Capture Commission, a process that uncovered mountains of evidence exposing the extent to which our State has been captured.

The exemplary work the Chief Justice did as the Chairperson of this commission will have a lasting impact in restoring the dignity of our country.

In 2022, he was appointed Chief Justice of South Africa, leading the judiciary with great success. His term of office is now coming to an end on the 31st of August 2024, where his successor, Justice Maya will take over the role, having big shoes to full.

Under the leadership of Chief Justice Zondo, key programs were implemented to successfully transform the judiciary to ensure full representativity. Not only has he done effective work in management of the judiciary, but he has also contributed substantially to the development of jurisprudence in South Africa.

The Democratic Alliance is greatly appreciative of the contributions Chief Justice Zondo has made to South Africa and recognise him for his outstanding career.

We wish him well in the next chapter of his life.

Regards

Adv. Glynnis Breytenbach MP
DA Spokesperson on Justice and Constitutional Development

  1. A new teacher enters a classroom full of students.

    The teacher stands at the front of the room and greets the students, \”Good morning, class.\”

    None of the students say anything. One boy at the back of the classroom stands up, \”Good morning, teacher.\”

    Puzzled, the teacher carries on. The following morning, the same thing happens. Day after day goes by, and it\’s the same routine.

    One morning after greeting the class and the same student standing and greeting, the teacher has had enough, \”Why is it, that every time I walk in and greet the entire room, only you stand up and greet me?\”

    In the most broken English, the boy replies, \”Because I are the only one here, what\’s name are Klass\”

  2. A child can play with anything including his mother’s breast but not his father’s testicles.
