Raymond Zondo will ascend to the Chief Justice position after he was appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday.
Zondo was interviewed for the position along with Constitutional Court justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, Gauteng judge president Dunstan Mlambo and president of the Supreme Court of Appeal justice Mandisa Maya.
All candidates were interviewed publicly by a panel of Commissioners from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) last month.
The JSC recommended Maya for the Chief Justice position, but the final decision lay with the President.
The presidency said Ramaphosa expressed his intention to nominate Maya as deputy chief justice. This nomination process will be guided by the Constitution
