Then the Tribunal turned to Judge Hlophe’s attempt to argue that the 12-year delay justified the dismissal of the complaint against him. To this the Tribunal said: “It is also the lived experience of members of the Tribunal, who are members of the legal profession, as judges and a practising attorney. That principle is deeply rooted in the legal profession. It is instilled through years of practice, either as an advocate or an attorney, from whose ranks most judges are drawn. With elevation to the judiciary, one carries it along. We do not know whether Judge President Hlophe ever practised law as either an advocate or an attorney prior to his elevation.

Less one seasoned black judge. What a shame on a system that claims to be apolotical and yet serves the powers that be

He should be disbarred with immediate effect.

Will Judge President John Hlophe face impeachment after being found guilty of gross misconduct?The Judicial Conduct Tribunal found that Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe had breached sections of the Constitution, when he attempted to influence two justices of the Constitutional Court. I bet that this is the one judge who was paid to swing a court judgment hence the claim that there are some judges who were 'bought' Ag please, spare us this crap. This judge should have been gone long ago. But alas, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. And he will probably be 'suspended' with full pay and benefits for 25 years. Tsek. This finding by this commission is baffling, to say the least! JSC is planting land mines in its own yard!
