This month we mourn the recent passing of Chief Justice Pius Langa.
Justice Langa succeeded Arthur Chaskalson as the Chief Justice of South Africa in 2005 and held the position until his retirement in 2009. His first job was in a shirt factory, but through hard work and tenacity Justice Langa rose to the pinnacle of the legal profession; attaining the rank of senior counsel and ultimately being appointed as one of South Africa’s first Constitutional Court judges.
