A government review of the judiciary has been broadened to include the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Jeff Radebe has released a discussion document on judicial transformation, and the appropriate role of the judiciary last month.
At the time, he said the department would commission an assessment of the decisions of the Constitutional Court, their impact on social transformation and the reconstruction of South African law.
In the latest development, Radebe's ministry has said the probe will also include the Supreme Court of Appeal.
According to the terms of reference of the review, which has now been released, the review will analyse the decisions of both the Constitutional and Appeal courts to establish the extent to which their decisions have contributed to the reform of South African jurisprudence and law.
