Judge Presidents Ngcobos term of office has been extended by the President SA

The Constitutional Court today ruled against the South African President's decision to extend Chief  Justice Ngcobos term of office as Judge President of the Constitutional Court as he will be retiring next year.The reason for the extension  of the term of office by the President is derived from the condition of service of the judges where a certain section give powers to the President of the Republic of South Africa to extent the term of office of a Judge President of the Constitutional Court where he deemed it necessary to do. The extension of the term of office was contested by number of organisations in the legal fraternity as well as political parties who were of the opinion that the President 's actions were unconstitutional.The President did not act improper , due to the fact that the conditions of service gave him such powers to do so and one wonders how those conditions of service of judges were approved by Parliament where it can be realised in 2011 that they were unconstitutional.This means that we are sitting with state attorneys who are paid high salaries but not doing their work in ensuring state laws and policies are in compliance with the Constitution as a supreme law of the country.
