MEDIA STATEMENT ON THE FIRST EVER MEETING IN SOUTH AFRICA OF THE EXECUTIVE BUREAU OF THE CONFERENCE OF CONSTITUTIONAL JURISDICTIONS OF AFRICA
Page 1 of 2
Chief Justice Mogoeng added that the fact that the meeting of the Executive Bureau was taking place in South Africa was a vote of confidence in the South African Judiciarys vision and commitment to contribute to the promotion and observance of the rule of law and the independence of Judiciaries in Africa. There are various areas of concern in relation to judicial independence and the apparent nonobservance of the rule of law in certain parts of our continent. There are also pockets of excellence that need to be strengthened and shared. And it is through even closer co-operation under the auspices of the CCJA that African Judiciaries can advance constitutional justice in our continent. It is both an honour and a privilege for us to host this very important and historic meeting. And we are looking forward to the deliberations which will pave the way for a programme of action that will guide the CCJA and by extension African Judiciaries in our collective quest to restore the muchneeded peace and stability as well as the investor confidence in Africa to help boost the economy to the relief of a lot of our people, said the Chief Justice. The CCJA provides a vehicle through which a profound contribution to the realisation of this ideal state of affairs can be made and we are determined to ensure that the meeting of the Executive Bureau this coming week comes up with a vision that will add significantly to measures being taken by other key role-players, to the renaissance of Africa, concluded the Chief Justice.
Ends.
