Constitutional Court of South Africa
The Constitutional Court of South Africa is a supreme constitutional court established by the Constitution of South Africa. It was originally the final appellate court for constitutional matters. Since the enactment of the Superior Courts Act in 2013, the Constitutional Court has jurisdiction to hear any matter if it is in the interests of justice for it to do so.
The court was first established by the Interim Constitution of 1993, and its first session began in February 1995.〔http://www.constitutionalcourt.org.za/text/judges/current/justicebessnkabinde/1.html〕 It has continued in existence under the Constitution of 1996. The court sits in the city of Johannesburg; since February 2004 it has occupied a purpose-built complex on Constitution Hill.
The Constitutional Court consists of eleven judges who are appointed by the President of South Africa from a list drawn up by the Judicial Service Commission. The judges serve for a term of twelve years. The court is headed by the Chief Justice of South Africa and the Deputy Chief Justice. The duty of the judges is to uphold the law and the constitution, which they must apply impartially and without fear, favour or prejudice.
The constitution requires that a matter before the court be heard by at least eight judges. In practice, all eleven judges hear almost every case. Decisions are reached by a majority vote of the judges sitting in a case. Each judge must indicate his or her decision, and the reasons for the decision are published in a written judgment.
