Steven Majiedt

Steven Arnold Majiedt (born 18 December 1960) is a South African judge of the Constitutional Court of South Africa. He joined the Constitutional Court in October 2019 as an appointee of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Formerly a practicing advocate, he served in the Supreme Court of Appeal from 2010 to 2019 and in the Northern Cape High Court from 2000 to 2010.

Born in the Northern Cape, Majiedt attended the University of the Western Cape and practiced law in Cape Town between 1984 and 1995. He gained his legal reputation serving as junior counsel on public law matters concerning apartheid legislation. After the end of apartheid, he was Provincial State Law Adviser to Premier Manne Dipico's government in the Northern Cape between 1996 and 2000 and then practiced briefly in chambers in Kimberley before he was appointed to the High Court of South Africa later in 2000.

During his nine years' service on the Supreme Court of Appeal, Majiedt acted in the Constitutional Court in 2014 and was nominated unsuccessfully for permanent elevation in 2017. After a subsequent round of interviews in April 2019, Majiedt was appointed to the Constitutional Court alongside Zukisa Tshiqi; the pair became Ramaphosa's first appointments to the highest court and replaced retired Justices Bess Nkabinde and Dikgang Moseneke.
