Contesting for the third time to become a judge in the Limpopo High Court, advocate Lesibana Ledwaba did not have an easy interview before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) on Wednesday.
The high court has only one vacancy.
Ledwaba, who has four law degrees, was the first to take the hot seat and struggled to reassure commissioners as he was persistently asked the same questions.
Ledwaba has been acting as a judge in the Limpopo and Gauteng high courts since 2019. He has dealt with criminal and civil cases and had only one judgment overturned by the Supreme Court of Appeal.
His interview started smoothly, but when commissioners asked about a complaint previously raised to the Legal Practice Council (LPC) about a billing grievance, the commissioners were not satisfied with his answers.
