DA backs appointment of Justice Leona Theron to ConCourt bench.

Johannesburg – Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane on Wednesday said his party had recommended the appointment of Justice Leona Theron to Constitutional Court bench.

Maimane said in terms of his obligation under section 174(4) of the Constitution, President Jacob Zuma wrote to him requesting his views and input on who ought to fill the vacant seat on the Constitutional Court bench following the retirement of Justice Johann van der Westhuizen in January last year.

The DA leader said after a thorough selection process as per section 174(4)(a) of the Constitution, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) presented to the President a list of four candidates, of which the President must appoint one to the Constitutional Court.
