Judge Stevan Majiedt has told the Judicial Service Commissioners that he will not be trampled on by people who think he is not "black enough". During his interview, Majiedt said he classified himself as a black person, and not as coloured. "As a judge, I understand that one should control their temper - I have learnt to be temperate as possible," he said. 'I am not coloured, I am a black person' Majiedt left it up to the panel to decide if he was good enough for the Constitutional Court post. I don't want to be misquoted, so often people tell me - there are no coloureds in the High Court - I am not coloured, I am a black person," he said.
