JSC interviews: Malema GRILLS Zondo about meeting Zuma

Earlier this year, it was reported that proceedings during Acting CJ Raymond Zondo’s interview for the CJposition became rather tense on Friday, 4 February 2022, especially during his interactions with Julius Malema.

Malema made reference to meetings Zondo had with then ANC president Jacob Zuma in 2008. This was in the wake of comments made by Malema, who at the time was a fierce Zuma ally and was President of the ANC Youth League.

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) posed a series of questions from three other candidates vying for the post. Malema said he was concerned that Zondo might be too involved in politics and questioned whether he brought the judiciary into disrepute when he met with Zuma.
