Froneman was born on 10 February 1953 in East London in the former Cape Province.

Raised in a Christian, Afrikaans-speaking family, he grew up on his family farm in Cathcart, where he attended primary school, and he matriculated in 1970 at Grey College in Bloemfontein.

After matriculating, he did his mandatory military service with the Cape Field Artillery.

In 1994, Froneman was appointed as a judge of the Eastern Cape Provincial Division, then a division of the Supreme Court of South Africa and later a division of the High Court of South Africa.

A 1994 judgement by Froneman, Qozeleni v Minister of Law and Order, was one of South Africa's earliest experiments in constitutional interpretation, and it was cited by Sydney Kentridge in S v Zuma, the first judgement handed down by the post-apartheid Constitutional Court of South Africa.

1996

He was also the inaugural Deputy Judge President of the Labour Court of South Africa between 1996 and 1999.

On 11 October 2009, President Jacob Zuma announced that he had appointed Froneman and three others – Sisi Khampepe, Chris Jafta, and Mogoeng Mogoeng – to the Constitutional Court bench, with effect from the following day.
