Judge Dhaya Pillay. Picture: TWITTER The Judicial Service Commission's shortlisting of Constitutional Court justices – during which JSC commissioner, Julius Malema, attacked Judge Dhaya Pillay for her friendship with Pravin Gordhan – is now being challenged in court. The Council for the Advancement of the SA Constitution (Casac) on Thursday filed papers at the Johannesburg High Court, in which it challenges the constitutionality of those interviews, which saw Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng actively politicising Pillay's interview – after Malema accused her of being an "activist judge", and said she was "unfit for office" because of her friendship with Gordhan. In the closing moments of Pillay's interview, Mogoeng suddenly remembered that then finance minister Gordhan had, during an unrelated meeting, asked him how she had done in her 2016 interview for a position at the Supreme Court of Appeal.
