However, there are still two vacancies in the appellate court.
Judge Fayeeza Kathree-Setiloane, an experienced High Court Judge, had previously been considered for a position on the Constitutional Court but was not selected by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
In her latest appearance before the JSC, she conveyed that she had relinquished her aspirations for the highest court in the country. Instead, she expressed her desire to secure a permanent position in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) after serving in acting roles there, EWN reported.
