Mogoeng undermined the public’s confidence in life-saving and scientifically tested vaccines Health advocacy organisation the African Alliance has filed a complaint with the Judicial Services Commission against Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng

This comes after Mogoeng’s now infamous prayer at Tembisa Hospital on December 10 and comments he made the following day, which the alliance is calling “false and dangerous vaccine claims”.

“I don’t care about the consequences. We’ve been quiet for far too long, toeing the line. I’m not going to toe any line and it doesn’t matter how many people criticise me.”The alliance said Mogoeng’s comments, which he has repeatedly defended, implied that vaccines could be dangerous with no factual basis and this undermined the public’s confidence in life-saving and scientifically tested vaccines.

Preliminary data for phase 3 trials of four vaccines, namely Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford-AstraZeneca and Sputnik V, have shown that all of them have efficacy above 90% in protecting against the virus and that they are safe for human use. It added that the Chief Justice should be aware that national regulators like the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority exist to ensure that products like vaccines are safe, effective and of high quality.

Asked whether churches also had a role to play in speaking out against Covid-19 conspiracy theories, Mpumlwana said: “Remember that South Africa has 80% of people who claim to be Christians, but not all of them believe in the same thing.

'scientifically tested' Wow!

Never ever touch the man of God Jehovah.... Ever

Which public?

Can we check who is funding the Health Alliance

Leave him alone please

African Alliance and the JSC are undermining the CJ and every SA's freedom of expression of religion and right to information.

Clearly the African Alliance has ulterior motives. So people should not pray anymore just in case someone gets offended?

I went from being broke, homeless, and suicidal, to making $15k per week. My message to you is DON'T GIVE UP! Even when all seems impossible. I STILL work a regular job on top of my business because I’m scared to death to be homeless again. All thanks to DennisWillam77

Ke bao, ba batla go senya leina la ga Chief Justice... 👀🤘🏽

I fully support our CJ. Hands off him

Mogoeng is suffering from ageism, he's Zuma's appointee who show his true colors as his term is nearing to an end

Fuck that stupid alliance I stand with CJ

I so wish he could pray again, his prayers rattle some cages and touch some sick nerves which desperately need healing.

Leave the Chief Justice alone, and stop listening to other peoples prayers if you don't like them, Go and pray your own prayers and complain to God, otherwise next time you will be complaining that the Chief Justice prayed that evil was Satanic.

It was just a prayer. What is suspect is the overreaction. This cult-like defence of science should be discouraged.

I stand by our CJ prayer and no satanic vaccine will go in my body NotInMyBody

The Chief Justice must enjoy his rights. He is not exempt from enjoying his privileges
