As SA's chief justice, Raymond Zondo's duties went beyond the courtroom. He played a pivotal role in transitioning the government during challenging times and swore in new ministers.
His legacy is well-documented through his interviews at the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and his tenure as chair of the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture, as well as interviews after his retirement.
We know his remarkable journey, from overcoming poverty to assuming the highest judicial office in the country, while maintaining humility and giving credit to those who contributed to his success. Throughout his career, Zondo remained a fierce advocate for the rule of law and judicial independence.
As chief justice, his tenure was marked by his efforts to restore the integrity of the JSC, advocate for the financial independence of the judiciary and improve the performance of courts and judges.
