Supreme Court of Appeal

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in Bloemfontein is the highest court in South Africa that deals exclusively with appeals. Established in 1910, it has played a pivotal role in the country’s legal system, ensuring the consistent application of law across South Africa. The court is located in a historic building that reflects the architectural grandeur of the early 20th century, contributing to the city’s rich cultural and historical heritage. The SCA's primary function is to hear appeals from lower courts, and its judgments are binding on all courts in the country except for the Constitutional Court.

The SCA consists of a President, Deputy President, and several judges of appeal, all of whom are appointed by the President of South Africa on the advice of the Judicial Service Commission. The court hears cases in panels of three to five judges, depending on the complexity and importance of the matter. The SCA has jurisdiction over all appellate matters except those pertaining to constitutional issues, which fall under the purview of the Constitutional Court. Its decisions have a profound impact on South African jurisprudence, often setting precedents that shape the interpretation and application of law.

The court's location in Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of South Africa, underscores the city’s importance in the national legal landscape. The Supreme Court of Appeal building, with its stately design and well-maintained grounds, is a landmark in Bloemfontein. Visitors to the court can observe proceedings, gaining insights into the appellate process and the functioning of the judiciary. The SCA not only serves as a crucial institution for upholding justice in South Africa but also stands as a symbol of the country’s commitment to the rule of law and democratic principles.
