She also served as a Judge of the Labour and Labour Appeal Court, Acting Judge of the Competition Appeal Court and Acting Judge of the Constitutional Court for two terms in 2015. Ramaphosa said Justice Molemela was an outstanding jurist and her appointment added impetus “to the continuing transformation of key institutions of our democracy, including the judiciary.” The DA congratulated Judge Molemela on her appointment.
