Can somebody post on this forum the full COSATU submission please.

They were mostly informed by emotions and anger that Moseneke was not nominated by the President. Moseneke was also impartial as a chair of the session. He should have recused himself. Mogoeng was firm and very clear but I was disappointed by his short temper. He answered all questions posed to him very well. After what we saw yesterday,even the worst critic of Mogoeng would agree that he will be equal to the task if appointed as Chief Justice. He has more than enough experience. When he was appointed as a Judge of North West High Court,Judge President of North West High Court,Labour Court Judge,Constitutional Court Judge,he was interviewed by the same JSC and was proved to be fit and proper for appointment. But shockingly,the same JSC is now doubting his capacity On 9/4/11, Ndinisa Maviyo <[email protected]> wrote: > Our democracy is 17 years; constitutional court has been functioning for 16 > years; Judge Mogoeng Mogoeng has been a judge for 14 years.
