Dear Editor
The Democratic Alliance extends its warmest congratulations to Justice Mandisa Maya on her appointment as the Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa. Justice Maya will take up the highest office in the Judiciary on 1 September 2024.
The Chief Justice of South Africa is the head of the Judiciary and is responsible for the functions of the courts. The Chief Justice plays a vital role in ensuring that the rule of law is respected, and that the Judiciary maintains its custodial role over our Constitution.
Justice Maya brings a wealth of experience to the role of Chief Justice of South Africa and has made a significant contribution to the development of South Africa’s legal jurisprudence.
As a party whose key principle is the rule of law, we wish her well as she takes up this vigorous task.
While we look forward to Justice Maya’s appointment, we also extend our deepest thanks to Justice Raymond Zondo, who will be stepping down as Chief Justice. His contributions to upholding the Constitution and the Rule of Law will not be forgotten.
Regards
Glynnis Breytenbach MP
DA Spokesperson on Justice and Constitutional Development
