The JSC rejected its tribunal's recommendation made in April last year that the provisions of section 177 of the Constitution should be invoked in the matter after the tribunal had found Motata guilty of gross misconduct.Section 177 states that a judge may be removed from office if the JSC finds that the judge suffers from an incapacity‚ is grossly incompetent or is guilty of gross misconduct.
The JSC said Motata should pay a fine of R1.1m to the South African Judicial Education Institute over a period not more than 24 months from the date of the JSC decision.The announcement puts to bed a more than decade-long scandal which saw Motata fall from grace after he was recorded swearing at a home owner after he crashed his Jaguar into a Hurlingham wall while drunk.by the Johannesburg High Court, which sentenced him to a fine of R20,000 or 12 months’ imprisonment.
Following the tribunal's finding, it was up to the JSC to agree or disagree, after receiving further submissions from Motata on the tribunal's findings. Its decision was announced publicly on Thursday evening.
