Nxasana, from the KwaZulu-Natal division of the high court, would start his new role on October 1, spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement.

 

"Nxasana currently practises as an attorney with a wealth of experience in criminal litigation, coupled with his having occupied senior positions in the legal profession - including the chairpersonship of the KwaZulu-Natal Law Society," said Maharaj.
