Can a man sentenced to five years’ imprisonment fairly participate in the appointment of the nation’s judges?

In this episode, Greg Nicolson and Nonkuleko Njilo unpack the Helen Suzman Foundation’s high-stakes court bid to remove Malema and explore the fallout of having a convicted leader vetting the bench.
