Johannesburg – The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has announced the shortlisted candidates for the two re-advertised judicial vacancies at the Constitutional Court.

The JSC said shortlisted candidates will be interviewed in the week 6 – 17 October 2025 and will, in due course, be notified of the venue, exact date, and time of the interview.
In the meantime, the JSC has invited law bodies and any persons who wish to comment on the suitability or otherwise of a shortlisted candidate to address their comments to the Secretariat of the JSC at MSongca@judiciary.org.za and TPhaahlamohlaka@judiciary.org.za, copied to: JSC@judiciary.org.za.
