This is by far the most impressive judgeship interview i have watched. Advocate Wilson answered every question well. Even the tricky questions that could have caught him out were answered well. He is a sharp legal mind. Well done.
Let's give him the Job already. So excited to see how he goes on as a judge. My suspicion is that this is the first stage in his quest for the Constitutional Court.
Adv Thembeka is what this forum has always needed, questions about candidates grasp of legal concepts and legal philosophies they subscribe to.very impressive indeed.
Adv, you speak so brilliantly, PIL, academic, passionI, etc, etc, pray you are appointed. Great value to the judiary and country as a whole. God bless. Vetri EC Komani 🙏🇿🇦🙏
Accolade this man with minora he is precise razor sharp composed and sets a standard to take up this shield or sword is huge dedication paramount he excells across the board he needs to be rocketed not parachuted gives one a feeling of hope a bright light in a very dark and dingy environment good wishes go go go enjoyed watching this process
Wilson J was the judge in the S vs Shoba Case, was he not ? The man oozes nothing but intelligence. He's the real deal. A force to be reckoned with. A brilliant legal mind. He should be the next CJ .
Adv Wilson is so articulate and clear to understand. He sounds knowledgeable, I'm not talking about law, since I am not qualified to judge his knowledge of the law. I am talking about the understanding of social issues in the country. Solid candidate
For this channel to grow could it's owners please include important cases and ground breaking judgements and the commentary thereon ensuing. I think it's important for people to understand the way the law works too and discussing legal matters perhaps with animations would be most beneficial for all South Africans. It's a great way to lift the veil if the judiciary and bring their work more into the light . Judges don't tend to be public people but a channel like this can bring the issues they deal with more into the spotlight to promote rule of law.
I remember Mr Wilson from Wits, a sterling candidate. I wish him well on his endeavour and I trust that he will have meaningful contributions to the bench and the community, holistically.
This is the level at which you want all candidates to be at. Law is indeed a jealous mistress but the outcome of that never-say-die attitude to it benefits society holistically.
I must say that Judge Wilson was a worthy candidate to be appointed. About the interview, I have the following to say: 1. He skillfully dodged the issue of subjectivity and the rule of law. 2. I liked the last commissioner who couldn't understand the brouhaha around his dual citizenship. 3. The LC JP was a tad unfair and left me confused. The Constitution IS the Supreme law of the land and permeates almost every aspect of the law. How does the JP then argue that constitutional principles are of limited application in the majority of cases. What about s39? To venture further by holding that the Constitution doesn't really apply to criminal matters was preposterous. 4. If ever there was a candidate to be fast-tracked to the Constitutional Court, it is Judge Wilson. I'm not sure why he felt that he had to remain at the high court and thereafter in an acting stint at the SCA for many more years to come. 5. Commissioner Ngcukaitobi really went in there, but the response by Wilson was stinging, implying that Ngcukaitobi, with his characterization of s25 as revolutionary was the one who was being an optimist. No doubt one of the finest members of our bench!
@@edgarsmagabe4779 Actually, I meant one commissioner, not all, it was only one lady Commioner I was referring to. I don't think it's about intellect as the general questioning was quite professional. I, accord respect to ACJ and the team. Apologies for generalizing, it's the texting error on my part. Vetri EC Komani 🙏🇿🇦🙏
Great candidate. Glad to see he got the gig. I must say though, I saw deliver him the judgment in the Shoba matter, although a guilty verdict was the only logical ruling, I felt much of his ratio decidendi was based on him filling in the many gaps which the prosecution had failed to cover. The prosecution was poor in that case. A braver, more literalist judge might have reached a different verdict.

I agree with you...
My former Property law lecturer at Wits. This man is brilliant, I wish him all the best.

Brilliant interview. I see this guy as a Constitutional Court Judge.
Stuart Wilson taught me Property Law at Wits. Uniquely intelligent, very passionate about human rights and South Africa.

I wish they took him instead of Rathatha in Senzo Meyiw case

One of the best interview I've ever seen.
Brilliant! The judgement he wrote for the ntuthuthuko case was the best I've heard on any news clip.

Questions followed by answers well done to Adv SDJ Wilson👍
A very solid Advocate and a very good candidate for the Banch 😊
I listened to his judgment on the Ntuthuko Shoba case. Stunning judgment!!!!
This Gentleman is experienced
He has a good experience

i like how you put it 🙂
He’s a very strong candidate. I have a feeling he will be a top pick. wishing him all the best
I just wish Dr Hlophe was here too, asking questions as the most qualified Judge in all of South Africa, the man has a Docrate, he is Law on two legs
Please be my lawyer. This man deserves a Bells.✊
I love him.

This commissioners, respectfully asking irrelevant questions. The constitution is applied ALL the time. In all courts.
Great appoint him he is an asset to the judiciary
Appoint this advocate is clear.
Think everyone want to prove his intellectual level in this platform.

This gentlemen has all it takes.

I hope he gets the nod. He’s impressive
This guy is too good 🔥🔥🔥
What position are these candidates being interviewed for?
I find some questions personal
Not really for the position
Wilson is brilliant
Bravo Adv Wilson
Wow...nice one
Yhooh my man was coasting. It’s his job
He has my vote, but unfortunately my vote doesn't count.
