Zeenat Carelse (born 16 October 1966) is a South African judge who became the inaugural president of the Land Claims Court in 2024. She was formerly a judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal between 2021 and 2024 and a judge of the Gauteng High Court between 2009 and 2021. Quotes I disagree with the notion that there is not enough women judges because they were not making themselves accessible, even though the statistics of women in law have not increased much. Take time off and offer free representation to the poor. When applying for a position, it counts in your favour. Believe that anything is possible. I never thought that I’ll be appointed as a judge, especially in such a male dominated profession. But even against the odds, I have continued to pursue my aspirations, obtained my qualification and entered the workforce with a drive to excel.
