Judges Matter welcomes historic women majority appointment at apex court

# Judges Matter has welcomed the appointment of Justices Nambitha Dambuza-Mayosi and Katharine Savage to the Constitutional Court, describing it as a historic milestone. The organisation says the appointments bring decades of legal and appellate experience to the country’s highest court. It adds the development makes South Africa’s apex court one of the few globally with a women majority. Judges Matter Mbekezeli Benjamin says this reflects significant progress since 1994, when women were largely underrepresented in the judiciary.
