THE Judicial Service Commission has backed high court judge Edwin Cameron to fill a vacancy on the Constitutional Court, according to a report in Business Day. The majority commission view in favour of Cameron, who disclosed his HIV-positive status this week, will be communicated to President Nelson Mandela, who will appoint a judge to fill the vacancy after consulting the president of the Constitutional Court and opposition leaders. Four nominees, including Cameron, were interviewed for the post this week. In other recommendations, Judge John Hlope was endorsed for the post of Cape deputy judge president and Judge Edward Stafford was backed as new deputy judge president of the Transvaal division, above Judge Kees van Dijkhorst.
