South Africa Appoints First Female Chief Justice

In a groundbreaking move, South Africa has appointed its first female Chief Justice, marking a significant milestone in the country’s judicial history.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the appointment of Justice Mahube Molemela, who will succeed Chief Justice Raymond Zondo.

Justice Molemela, a seasoned jurist with over two decades of experience, has been a strong advocate for gender equality and human rights.

Her appointment is seen as a major breakthrough for women’s representation in the judiciary and a significant step towards achieving gender parity.

“This is a momentous occasion for South Africa and a testament to the country’s commitment to gender equality,” said a spokesperson for the Presidency.

Justice Molemela’s appointment has been widely welcomed by legal experts, civil society, and women’s organizations, who hail her as a trailblazer and a role model.

“Her appointment will inspire countless women and girls to pursue careers in law and leadership,” said a prominent women’s rights activist. Justice Molemela will be sworn in as Chief Justice in a ceremony to be held later this month.
