    a significant move that reflects both experience and transformation, President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Nambitha Dambuza-Mayosi and Katharine Savage as new justices of South Africa’s Constitutional Court. Their appointments, effective from the beginning of next month, mark a pivotal moment for the country’s judiciary, reinforcing both continuity and progress at the highest level of legal authority.

    Dambuza-Mayosi brings with her a wealth of judicial experience, currently serving at the Supreme Court of Appeal, where she has built a reputation for thoughtful and constitutionally grounded judgments. Savage, on the other hand, has been a respected figure in the Western Cape High Court since 2015, known for her sharp legal insight and balanced approach to complex cases.

    Both women emerged from a rigorous selection process, having been shortlisted and interviewed in late 2025 for the two available vacancies. Their elevation not only fills critical gaps in the Constitutional Court but also signals a continued commitment to strengthening judicial independence and excellence.

    Beyond their credentials, their appointments highlight a broader narrative—one of increasing female representation in top judicial roles, inspiring a new generation of legal minds across South Africa and beyond.
