The question of whether Western Cape Judge President John Hlophe will face impeachment proceedings remains in the balance, as the Judicial Service Commission will now deliberate the report of the Judicial Conduct Tribunal .
The ruling relates to a complaint filed by 11 justices of the apex court in 2008. They claimed that Judge Hlophe had attempted to influence Justice Chris Jafta and Justice Bess Nkabinde to rule in a particular manner, in a pending case between the National Prosecuting Authority and former president Jacob Zuma.
The tribunal found that Judge Hlophe had breached the provisions of Section 165 of the Constitution, in attempting to influence justices of the court to violate their oaths of office. The tribunal’s report has been submitted to the chairperson of the JSC, Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng. The JSC will now deliberate over the findings and decide on Judge Hlophe’s future.
It is only then that Judge Hlophe could face a possible threat, through impeachment proceedings, to his powerful role as the head of the judiciary in the Western Cape.
Heard of 12Benbarker trading strategy and I decided to shoot another shot on the trade, and for some time now he is just so full of suprises. I have no other option than say it publicly so you can as well partake in this 12Benbarker banquet 😊
I was quick to engage your comment, now I get what you mean. reketla_m pardon me brother.
Hell No.
You're asking Kak!
This finding by this commission is baffling, to say the least! JSC is planting land mines in its own yard!
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.
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'
