Eastern Cape to have Deputy Judge President
The Eastern Cape province will now have a Deputy Judge President.
President Jacob Zuma, has in terms of Section 6(2) of the Superior Courts Act, 2013, (Act No. 10 of 2013), determined that the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court shall have a Deputy Judge President, whose Headquarters shall be Bhisho, which is the local seat of the Eastern Cape Division of the High Court.
The determination of a post of Deputy Judge President for the Eastern Cape Division will strengthen the judicial governance in the province, and promote effective coordination of judicial functions in the Division.
This measure is necessary to support the process of the rationalisation of the High Courts in the province. The mandate to rationalise all courts finds reflection in Section 16 of Schedule 6 to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996.
