Labour Court Judge Nduma Nderi was on Tuesday asked to defend his suitability for appointment to Supreme Court having dealt with a specialised court. He also cited serving as a judge in Swaziland is more than enough experience and he qualifies to be in Supreme Court. He said even though he has sat at the Labour Court, the matters he has dealt with go beyond just employment issues and touch on constitutional interpretation. Judge Nderi is one of the seven shortlisted for the position of Supreme Court judge and was the third person to appear before the Judicial Service Commission panel. He informed the JSC that he prefers if the Supreme Court draws its membership from across different superior courts in order to bring on board diversity.
