On Thursday, Nadel called on chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng to place Hlophe on special leave to allow judges to do their work without any tension until the complaint was fully dealt with and concluded.
FUL, after its board met on Sunday, said Nadel's call was right in principle. “No judge should sit in judgment while himself facing serious allegations which go to his or her fitness to hold office, let alone lead a court,” said the organisation.“Until such time as a proper investigation is completed and all consequential processes - which may include impeachment - are completed, judge president Hlophe cannot be allowed to exercise the powers of a judge,” it said.
It said it was nothing short of a disgrace that nearly 12 years on, the complaint laid by all 10 constitutional court judges against Hlophe for his attempt to“FUL was obliged to institute legal proceedings against the JSC to compel it to do its duty.”
pierredevos These guys are downright nicumpoops , every case has 2 sides of the story, how do you conclude without enough evidence
pierredevos While I detest Hlophe, there is a logic to not suspending him which is that if it were that easy to get a judge suspended, I.e.: file a complaint, it WILL be abused for political ends. Imagine Hlophe could have had judges he disagrees with suspended?
Don't agree......that only applies in countries which uphold the rule of law...unfortunately even under apartheid the rule of law was upheld in 🇿🇦 but as with our girls and women, democracy has raped and murdered it😏
