Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>President Cyril Ramaphosa has informed political parties that he intends appointing advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).<\/p>\n

President Cyril Ramaphosa informed opposition parties in a letter dated 22 September.<\/p>\n

In the letter, which News24 has seen, Ramaphosa says the appointment is in line with Section 178 of the Constitution, which empowers him to replace members of the JSC.<\/p>\n

If appointed, Ngcukaitobi would replace former member Doris Tshepe, who has joined the Competition Commission as its head.<\/p>\n

“I have decided to replace Ms DL J Tshepe, who was designated by me in April 2020 in terms of Section 178 of the Constitution, with advocate Tembeka Nicholas Ngcukaitobi,” reads the letter.<\/p>\n

The president called on opposition parties to respond to the appointment within five days.<\/p>\n

“I would like to ascertain your views on the possible designation of advocate Ngcukaitobi SC to the commission. It would be highly appreciated if I could receive your views within five days of receipt of this letter,” said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n

Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya told News24 there were ongoing consultations with opposition parties about a recommendation for the JSC candidate.<\/p>\n
