Advocate defends her right to criticise Covid-19 lockdown rules

reported on Sunday that she was due to resume her stint as an acting judge on June 8. After her Facebook post about “Cyril and his goons”, in an apparent criticism of the country's lockdown measures, however, Gauteng judge president Dunstan Mlambo had “immediately discussed the matter with her, and both agreed it will be in the best interest of all concerned to have her acting appointment revoked”.

“I have since apologised for that. In the instant of posting that comment I was hugely frustrated and emotionally distraught, and like many people do, I reacted. “The choice of adjectives and nouns I chose may have been unfortunate, but when an irrational regulation with no basis whatsoever, and clearly with no thought as to the best interests of parents and children, hinders my contact with my own child, I will remain upset and deeply so.”Benson said her last stint as an acting judge was in February this year.

By time someone stands there man and speak up. I salute you lady 👍🙏

So was she removed (as acting judge) for swearing, or for criticising government? If it was indeed the latter, then we are going backwards fast.. That is exactly what we would have expected from the Apartheid regime!

Lol they are gonna balckball her

Criticising is healthy. But certain 'people' think they must be treated like royalty especially those in government.

Haebo. Now we must apologise for freedom of speech?
