Appointment of Judges of the Labour Court
Six new Labour Court judges are appointed by the President: Ziyaduma Garudzo, Bianca Makwande, Rodin Mzyece, Evidence Gonesi, Clever Garikai Tsikwa and Motion Jaravani.
The President has appointed six judges of the Labour Court under section 180(1) of the Constitution.
The appointees are Ziyaduma Garudzo, Bianca Makwande, Rodin Mzyece, Evidence Gonesi, Clever Garikai Tsikwa and Motion Jaravani.
Six additional judges is a substantial addition to a court that hears unfair dismissal claims, NEC appeals and other employment disputes, and where delay is the long-standing complaint of both employers and employees.
The notice says the appointments take effect "from the date of appointment" but does not give that date, so the exact commencement is not on the face of the notice.
