      He was not avoiding questions like how some white judges will be, because they don't want their ideas/philosophy on life to be challenged.

      He is a master of his craft. I am sure he has experienced enumerous injustices towards him personally but never did and never will bring his profession into disrepute.
      I cannot salute him enough, be enspired by him enough and be thankful to him enough for this lesson: If you are committed to your art, you do not require validation from anyone. Your art needs you.

    After all he must have gone through during his time as a magistrate, no wonder he was able to deal with the questions with such dignity and intelligence.

  • @smd2505
    @smd2505 Před 4 lety +35

    I think the approach he took was "When I was in Rome, I did as Romans do" however one cannot take away the critical intellectual style of Juju's questionnaire and how he setups narrow minded and highly emotional politicians on debate platforms, the point Malema is coming from is how the post 94 youth should imply and apply their minds in current debates along the future of this country, however he should have admitted the system was a no good system, I think when he said "what I should have done" he was just hiding behind the thumb. The system needed to be challenged indeed, however Tokota was focusing or prioritizing on his articles and qualification rather than engaging and confronting the most harmful system ever imposed in our country. So for me a combination of thumbs up and down for both Juju & Tokota.

But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favor with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4: 6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you.

    @ULTIM01 Před 4 lety +8

    For me JM brought a balance into an enquiry that would have taken a linear approach. He was more on interrogating the mind of a man called upon to fill big boots. He wanted to see how this man has evolved since apartheid and to see how politics or religion has had an impact on his rulings and if at all he can still be unable to question political manipulations for if the truth be told the judiciary systems in Africa are not yet immune to politics. The independence of the Judiciary system is wht JM is after and he wants to see who really is the perfect candidate to put in power. Someone who can be neutral. If people think JM was being petty then we are in more trouble than i thought.
