Zukisa Laura Lumka Tshiqi (née Qingana; born 11 January 1961) is a judge of the Constitutional Court of South Africa and formerly served on the country's Supreme Court of Appeal and as an acting judge on the Constitutional Court.[1][2][3]
Early life[]
Tshiqi was born in the village of Cefane, part of the town of Ngcobo, Eastern Cape in 1961.[4] She earned a B Proc from the University of the Witwatersrand and an advanced diploma in labour law from Rand Afrikaans University. Thereafter she practiced as an attorney.
Judicial career[]
Tshiqi was made an acting judge of South Gauteng High Court in 2003 and was permanently appointed in 2005.[2] She was promoted to the Supreme Court of Appeal in 2009 and served the Constitutional Court in 2014-15 as an acting judge.[5] She applied for a permanent position on the Constitutional Court in 2015 but was generally regarded by commentators as a poor candidate, with the position going to Nonkosi Mhlantla.[3][6][7][8] In 2019, Tshiqi was appointed to the Constitutional Court.[1][4]
